I'd like to know if there are drawbacks in using btrfs with non-ECC RAM instead of using ext4 with non-ECC RAM. I know that some features of btrfs may rely on ECC RAM but is the chance of data corruption or even a damaged filesystem higher than when i use ext4 instead of btrfs? I want to know this because i would like to use the snapshot feature of btrfs and ext4 does not support that. I will not use btrfs for fixing silent data corruption nor for using RAID like features or encryption. ZFS however checks files in the background (even if i don't want) and if it thinks there is an error it will fix it and i cannot disable this feature. So errors in RAM may corrupt my files or even more.
If you have some information regarding this topic or some good links i would be very happy! =) -- 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
