Hang on one sec.... Isn't this completely true for ALL filesystems,
except that others can't detect that corruption has occurred?
Mike is absolutely correct (and on the earlier email as well). No
matter what the
criticism of ZFS, every other filesystem has it far worse. I've been
carrying around
USB drives (former laptop drives in small enclosures) for years and
using them
in various capacities (demonstrations, backups, training) and never had
an issue.
This includes students kicking the USB cable causing an unplanned hot plug
event :-), sudden battery loss, and intentional abuse of the disk (for
effect).
I've had way way way way way (is that enough for emphasis) more trouble with
reiserfs (bad blocks - yikes!!!!), ext3 (again with the bad blocks), and
fat32
(that only Windows could salvage) than with ZFS.
