Honestly, this is one of the things I like about Linux. If I have memory errors, Windows will just keep running, occasionally something will crash, you restart it, never suspecting just how corrupt things are getting under the hood. On Linux, I generally get kernel panics pretty quickly, so I run memtest86 and replace the RAM.

If my hardware is flaky, I consider it my job to replace it, not the job of all my software to magically compensate for it. If I lose data, oh well, I have backups. If I didn't, I was asking for trouble anyway.

I'm of the same opinion. If I have hardware that has a problem, and causes downtime, it gets replaced or repaired. I don't switch to a different piece of software to compensate for broken hardware.

With that said, I have seen ReiserFS expose hardware that had problems. Hardware was repaired, and ReiserFS rides again.
