My exposure to ZFS was a nightmare. it was being used for user home directories on a HPC cluster. Frequent outages, storage offline for days for recovery. I wasn't involved on the administrative side, just saw it from the user side. It was also many years ago, no doubt it has improved.
- Something1234 8y agoZFS does seem to be miserable if you're installing it for the first time. I set my antergos installer last night to use ZFS for the root partition. Did not work once I rebooted. As much as I want to like ZFS, I don't think the tooling is there. My filesystem choice should be completely transparent.
- marmaduke 8y agoI run a HPC cluster. I’m pretty bad at it so outages do happen but not like that. There are an infinite ways to fail at storage, nothing specific to ZFS.
