I think thats dangerous thinking and what has gotten us here. The whole point of zfs / btrfs is that due to the current size of storage, what was previously unlikely is now a statistical certitude.

We are now using green drives and s3 fuse and shitty flash media, the era of trusting the block device is over. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
