In nearly all fileserver situations, a good amount of the content is essentially archival, infrequently accessed but important now and then. (In my case it's my collection of digital and digitized photos.) A weekly scrub combined with a decent backup plan will detect bit-rot before the backups with the correct data cycle into the trash (and, with redundant storage like mirroring or RAID, the scrub will probably be able to fix the error without resorting to restoring files from backup). -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
