And about what SUN systems are you thinking for 'home use' ?
The likeliness of memory failures might be much higher than becoming a
millionair, but in the years past I have never had one. And my home
sytems are rather cheap. Mind you, not the cheapest, but rather cheap. I
do buy good memory though. So, to me, with a good backup I feel rather
safe using ZFS. I also had it running for quite some time on a 32bits
machine and that also worked out fine.
The fact that a perfectly good file can not be read because of a bad
checksum is a design failure imho. There should be an option to overrule
this behaviour of ZFS.
