I don't disagree that maintainer-goals and practices make me trust ZFS more. They do. But there have been bugs. Last major one I remember in the core code is this one: https://blog.lastinfirstout.net/2010/04/bit-by-bug-data-loss-running-oracle-on.html https://blog.lastinfirstout.net/2010/04/bit-by-bug-data-loss... But there was a Linux-specific data loss bug with ZFS in 2018: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/7401 https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/7401 Of course you should use what you like. And I agree that ZFS is safer. But again, I don't know of any file system that can say it has "been stable from the beginning", if stable means no data loss.
