Also ties up an unreasonably large amount of memory for filesystem operations. That is probably not okay with most people using a personal computer,

This is only really true when using features like deduplication, otherwise ZFS works fine on machines with only a couple gigs of RAM.
- cookiecaper 9y agoIf the choice is between memory contention and all of the issues that come with btrfs, I think memory contention is the better option. That said, if the only issue is that ZFS's memory profile is too heavy for personal systems, that seems like something that justifies some tweaks to ZFS, possibly a "home use" operational mode, rather than a completely new FS, am I right? I'm using ZFS without incident, but my workstation has 64G, so not really a good example...
