Bob is right. Less chance of failure perhaps but also less protection. I don't like it when my storage lies to me :)

SinceZFS is trying to checksum blocks, the fewer abstraction layers youhave in between ZFS and spinning rust, the less points oferror/failure.

Are you saying that ZFS checksums are responsible for the failure?

In what way does more layers of abstraction cause particular problems for ZFS which won't also occur with some other filesystem?
