I can't say I've ever had to translate binary to recover an email from the trash bin with Gmail... which is for "common users". Unless of course you're suggesting "common users" will never want to recover a file after zfs alerts them it's corrupted. He's got a very valid point, and the responses are disheartening at best. Just because other file systems don't detect the corruption, or require lots of work to recover, does not make it OK for zfs to do the same. Excuses are just that, excuses. He isn't asking for an excuse, he's asking for an answer.
Excuses? I did sense an issue with terminology and messaging, but there are no excuses here. ZFS detected a problem. The problem did not affect his data, as it was recovered. I'd like to reiterate here that if you can think of a better way to communicate with people, then please file a bug. Changes in messages and docs tend to be much easier than changes in logic. P.S. don't shoot the canary! -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
