I'm looking for recommendations on how to deal with the possibility of filesystem corruption.
As in the subject, I'm on 2.4.22, with SATA drives.
From what I've read, the safest thing to do is to turn off the write cache and use a journalled filesystem. However the hardware guy says that turning off the write cache also turns off the automatic error correction on writes, so the write may return an error rather than being remapped silently.
What's the best way for me to deal with this?
