robust and easy fsck like program which corrects errors easily. And a
program which periodically checks memory and replaces all corrupted
file data with journaled data to be spick and span.

I remember running Debian and having 1 hour-long song which I loved to listen
to.. and I found out that it has been deleted from YouTube..
So I wanted to back it up before a system-wipe and well.. I tried like 5
times,
every time the file would get corrupted, like it would be partially missing..
what a shame I wasn't as skilled back then, I miss that mix..
Fuck that filesystem, be it Debian's fault or USB FS fault or mine somehow..
the USB works perfectly to this day.
Also I think other files got corrupted, too.
And as for the "oh so glorious" FreeBSD's OpenZFS, it can fail, too, since
/boot isn't a ZFS dataset.. and I had that set up on Arch which took me so
much
effort than I'd like to admit (shitty-as-fuck documentation, had to
try&fail).
So no, even FreeBSD as much as it seems to some- is not perfect at all.
Oh, and what broke my system was a system update :-)
How hard can it be to actually do something properly , which one
promote??? I
mean, seriously!
Do one fucking thing, and do it fucking well, dammit!
Not exactly on-topic, but yeah, hopefully someone finds this interesting.
