Care to elaborate?
- Dylan16807 7y agoYou can't make a copy-on-write copy of a file. You can't deduplicate existing files, or existing snapshots. You can't defragment. You can't remove devices from a pool. That last one is likely to get some kind of hacky workaround. But nobody wants to do the invasive changes necessary for actual BPR to enable that entire list.
- ColanR 7y agoWow. As a casual user - someone who at one point was trying to choose between RAID, LVM and ZFS for an old NAS - some of those limitations of ZFS seem pretty basic. I would have taken it for granted that I could remove a device from a pool or defragment.
