Heh so you have that backwards. All RAM should be ECC if you care about what’s stored in it. It’s not a ZFS requirement, it’s just that ZFS specifically cares about data integrity so it advises you to use ECC RAM. But it’s not like any other file system is immune from random RAM corruption: it’s not, it just won’t tell you about it.
