Yes.
I have never had a corrupt DB with ECC memory, even with a few hard power cuts. I use RAID 1, though not with checksumming (mdadm) so about 50% of the time any issues should come up with disks if any.
A Bitcoin node will detect bugs in the matrix
since I'm not seeing any serious memory or disk issues, and assuming there are no bugs in bitcoin-core, I wonder if my bitcoin node is getting hit by cosmic rays and bits are getting flipped every now and then, leading to leveldb checksum errors.
I looked into ECC ram but I may need to build a home server, since it's not common in desktops motherboards.
Is this is why you’ve been going on about ecc memory nostr:npub12262qa4uhw7u8gdwlgmntqtv7aye8vdcmvszkqwgs0zchel6mz7s6cgrkj ? I found a post about it from greg maxwell 10 years ago as well, saying all his non-laptop machines use ecc memory:
