What is the benefit of using ZFS on a personal or dev machine? I almost never tinker with filesystem partitions or allocation once I set them up as part of installing an OS. I occasionally do on a production machine if I've misjudged space needed for something, but there again it's pretty rare.
- Marsymars 6y agoI run Windows and macOS on my personal and dev machines (so don’t use ZFS), but I’d really appreciate the peace of mind of bit rot protection.
- nix23 6y agoOh it's massive especially for kernel-devs/os-devs, snapshots and boot-environments (bectl)....for personal machines...zfs-send..never have to think about correct backups/restores anymore.

- JdeBP 6y agoBoot environments for operating system upgrades. They take advantage of ZFS.
- laumars 6y agoSnapshots was the biggie that made me switch to ZFS more than 10 years ago. Never looked back.
