What I really want: ext4 performance with instant snapshots plus optional transparent compression when it can improve performance. There is only one promise to deliver this AFAIK: bcachefs, but it still isn't mature yet.
- nisa 5y agoZFS on Linux does this pretty well. Performance is close to ext4 for most usecases.

You don't get the file level checksumming or some of the other features but you can still snapshot the volume and get pretty good performance out of it. I've got a few programs that don't get along too well with zfs that I use that way.
