I have heard that too, and at some point I might try it out. Honestly I just wish there was a way to run ZFS as a core partition on macOS. APFS is pretty good

Honestly I just wish there was a way to run ZFS as a core partition on macOS. APFS is pretty good, but a full on ZFS thing is really cool, and makes FreeBSD so much more appealing as a result.

- tombert 5y agoI have not...if I weren't afraid of losing all my stuff I'd do it tonight... Maybe I'll just back up to S3 or something. You have peeked my interest.
- asveikau 5y agoI don't think relying on kernel extensions on Mac is a good idea. It takes a lot to get it working and I suspect it will be brittle. I've had a hard enough time in the past with out of tree drivers on Linux. I can't imagine what it's like with an OS vendor as hostile to the concept as Apple is.
