So let me understand this. Your data is important and you don't want even rare errors to occur, so you want ECC memory. However you use a non-journaling file system which is more likely to lose data?


How a journaling FS would help in case of writing data corrupted in memory, @themitigbting?

And if it doesn't help, then why you decided to bring it as an argument?

NB: even if you use ZFS you still need backups.

(and I don't use XFS any more.)


Journaling won't help as the errors are in memory 1st - then replicated to the disk.

It feels like arguing in bad faith. How did you arrive to the point XFS is non-journaling to begin with?
