Hello everyone!
Today in Big Data epoch silent data corruption becoming more and more issue to afraid of. With
uncorrectable read error rate ~ 10^-15
on multiterabyte disk bit rot is the real issue.
I think that today checksumming data must be mandatory set by default. Only if someone doesn't care about his data he can manually turn this option off.
What do you think about defaulting --data-checksums in initdb?
