- ofrzeta 8y agoAs far as I know VDO only provides compression and deduplication. So no snapshots like in Btrfs and ZFS, although you can use LVM snapshots. Also no RAID features.
- Conan_Kudo 8y agoI use subvolumes, snapshots, and send/recv functionality for cheap replication of data. Sometimes even on RAIDed disks! There are only two file systems with that feature set today: Btrfs and ZFS. I personally prefer Btrfs because it's way more flexible and shipped with the Linux kernel.
