Now you get to solve the same problem I have been stuck on since last
November -- how to use those HDD's.
ZFS has been my bulk storage solution of choice for the past ~4 years,
but the recent data corruption bugs [1, 2] have me worried. From a
technical perspective, it's about incorrect concurrent execution of GNU
cp(1), Linux, and/or OpenZFS. From a management perspective, it's about
Capability Maturity Model (CMM) [3] and Programming Systems Product
(PSP) [4].
The most obvious alternative to ZFS on Debian would be Btrfs. Does
anyone have any comments or suggestions regarding Btrfs and data
corruption bugs, concurrency, CMM level, PSP, etc.?
Does anyone have any comments or suggestions regarding how to use
magnetic hard disk drives, commodity x86 computers, and Debian for
long-term data storage with ensured integrity?
