I've had memory errors make many directory entries disappear in one directory on XFS, noticed only months later. When you write out bad data and the computer says everything is fine, you won't necessarily be able to get your data back.

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?
