Aye but ZFS on Linux is rock solid and definitely the way to go. Technically you don't need ZFS to use the Manatee state machine. You could swap out the ZFS snapshot transfer service to use pg_basebackup instead. For anyone interested I have made the appropriate alterations to Manatee to get it to run on Ubuntu with the standard ubuntu-zfs packages. The fork is here: https://github.com/josephglanville/manatee https://github.com/josephglanville/manatee Chef cookbook to help you get started along with the other dependencies: https://github.com/josephglanville/cookbook-manatee https://github.com/josephglanville/cookbook-manatee
