How common would be single on-disk bit flips in 128K blocks? Disk manufacturers quantized it as a 1 to 10 to the power of god knows what, which practically means every few years or so. If this is just optimistic marketing crap, wouldn't it be viable to have a bit flip checker as option to the scrub mode (with tons of warnings, yes/no confirmation and recommendation to do this in single user mode)? I'm sure people using no redundancy (e.g. future OSX users) would appreciate it, saving some grief if the bad blocks are indeed just single bit flips. -mg _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
