There is one huge issue with ZFS, the distributions and various crappy software will catch up the ease of use and abuse it to the maximum. I have already seen what huge pile of noise Ubuntu makes, not to mention creating snapshot for any update and how docker looks when you enable it on ZFS (forget about `zfs list` without `| grep` or `| more`). I can hardly wait for electron to start creating snapshots on each run, ...
ZFS is great. What todays developers will make out of it... is worrysome.
- godelski 6y agoCan't you just solve this by not snapshotting everything? I only snapshot user folders (which I size limit), user program folders (where users write code), and long term data storage (will not snapshot user generated data). You really should control what is being snapshotted and what isn't.
- jjoonathan 6y agoUgh, I hadn't thought about that, but you're absolutely right. If ubuntu can turn something as straightforward as mount tables into a complete dog's breakfast I tremble to imagine what they'll do with ZFS. > electron snapshots on each run ...on a raspberry pi, for maximum trendiness, deployed in a check out aisle where you have to wait for it to painfully work through its issues after every interaction. Kill me now.
