- Dylan16807 6y agoBecause it's absolutely awful at deduplicating. Or you're on windows. But sure yeah it's pretty good overall, I don't disagree with your main point.
- bromonkey 6y agoDedup is a pretty niche use case for most people.
- modderation 6y agoZFS on Windows is slowly getting better. I wouldn't actually trust it with data yet, but I suspect the developers would welcome any contributions or effort sent in their direction: https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/ZFSin https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/ZFSin (I'm not affiliated, but I think it's a cool project, and I really want it to succeed)
- fierarul 6y agoI don't think deduplication can do much of a job on media files which are heavily compressed anyhow. As for Windows, that's a new one! When I think ZFS I think NAS although I did briefly had it on a laptop with FreeBSD I think.
