It is not just ZFS edge cases seeing issues, ZFS was just the bell weather.
Synology does not use ZFS at all, and they are seeing issues
Also ZFS being an "edge case" is not going to be true long term as alot of SMB and Home NAS vendors (the very customers the WD Red Line targets) are starting to use ZFS on Linux more and more
- boomboomsubban 6y agoI haven't seen the data for a few years, but I believe random Synology and other premade NAS dominated the market. To the point where ZFS would always be an edgecase.
- syshum 6y agoSynology and QNap are probably the 2 biggest in this market segment, Synology already has issues and QNAP is bringing ZFS to market in their latest line of NAS devices Synology also has used btrfs in the past which I would suspect may suffer the same kind of issue as ZFS but dont know forsure
- boomboomsubban 6y agoMy point here was that ZFS will continue being an edge case, as the premades dominate the market and do not provide ZFS. QNAP may offer it on home devices in the future, but may also limit it to premium devices. I am not making a statement about any compatibility here.
