My only issue with ZFS is it only works (ideally, with least effort) with multiples of the same size disks. I got into a bit of an argument on IRC with someone who said "just partition, ZFS can figure it out" and i'm thinking of all of the 128GB and 256GB SSDs, the 640GB spindles, and so on that i want to actually use for data, and it sounds like it'd be more hassle than it's worth. Something like "take everything on this 2TB drive, and put the .PAR/.Pnn archives on at least 2 other "filesystems", be they two 1TB or 2 128, a 256, a 512, and a 1TB.
Eventually i think i will start populating 2-4 sata drives on my 15-25W TDP celerons, atoms, and so on, and just give them away to people who need a computer for whatever. I'll even toss in a GTX 1050ti.
