Zfs on a laptop means you run zfs with a single disk?
- 0xcde4c3db 7y agoThis is not unheard of among FreeBSD users. Most of ZFS's features do not require (or even necessarily benefit from) multiple disks.
- gigatexal 7y agoYup checksumming and snapshots and compression and at rest encryption are amazing to name a few
- aidenn0 7y agoNot necessarily, my laptop has 2 M2 slots.
- yjftsjthsd-h 7y agoThey make adaptors that let you replace the optical drive with another SATA drive. But my FreeBSD laptop has one disk and it's fine. You don't have redundancy, but you still get all the other features (snapshots, clones, compression), and even if it can't correct errors it will still catch data errors which is more than most other filesystems will do.
