There are a lot of comments here about how the author should've used ZFS, or how well now they know about ZFS, but the post addresses this: > The other big elephant in the room, of course, is “why weren’t you using ZFS in the first place”. While it is true that Alpine has supported ZFS for years, I’ve been hesitant to use it due to the CDDL licensing. In other words, I chose the mantra instilled in me about GPL compatibility since the days when I was using GNU/Linux over pragmatism. It's not as if the author wasn't aware of ZFS, but had issues with the license.
