Memtest86 - Running on an existing zfs pool with data

[kujain]

hi there!

Due to some hardware replacements, I am planning to run Memtest86 on my existing freenas server (6TB data, 8gb RAM). So far the system has been running ok (though with non-ECC Ram, since my motherboard doesnt support it).

Before I run this test, I just wanted to be sure that running this test won't affect any existing data or destroy any info on my zfs pool. I am not certain about this hence quite nervous about it, esp since this is my last storage backup of my data!

Thanks very much!

Memtest86 will not touch any data disks. If you want to be really sure pull the SATA plugs before running it.
