+
+<p>Several of these research papers are based on data collected from
+hundred thousands or millions of disk, and their findings are eye
+opening.  The short story is simply do not implicitly trust RAID or
+redundant storage systems.  Details matter.  And unfortunately there
+are few options on Linux addressing all the identified issues.  Both
+ZFS and Btrfs are doing a fairly good job, but have legal and
+practical issues on their own.  I wonder how cluster file systems like
+Ceph do in this regard.  After all, there is an old saying, you know
+you have a distributed system when the crash of a computer you have
+never heard of stops you from getting any work done.  The same holds
+true if fault tolerance do not work.</p>
+
+<p>Just remember, in the end, it do not matter how redundant, or how
+fault tolerant your storage is, if you do not continuously monitor its
+status to detect and replace failed disks.</p>
