All; I have a question about ZFS and how it protects data integrity in the context of a replication scenario.
First, ZFS is designed such that all data on disk is in a consistent state. Likewise, all data in a ZFS snapshot on disk is in a consistent state. Further, ZFS, by virtue of its 256 bit checksums is capable of finding and repairing data corruption should it occur. In the case of a snapshot send/receive, what happens if the snap is corrupted when sent to a remote system? Would ZFS identify this? If it does identify the corruption what is done to recover from this type of error? Thanks; Paul _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
