I'm actually thinking of moving to FreeBSD for the very reasons you're stating.
FreeBSD has:
* ZFS - which is miles ahead of btrfs for production use
* libcapsicum - something that isn't completely braindead like posix 'capabilities'
* racct and jails - cgroups is a mess, containerization isn't wanted from posts on lkml ( as it's 'not needed' - considering vps hosting is a multi-billion dollar industry ) and it needs quiet a bit of work.
- munchhausen 15y ago> * ZFS - which is miles ahead of btrfs for production use Can you explain in what way? btrfs is less mature, sure, but "enterprise Linux" vendors are about to start fully supporting in their next minor version update releases, and that is a good indicator of production use readiness, since they wouldn't do that if they weren't pretty sure it's not going to blow up in their face via an endless stream of bug reports. > * racct and jails - cgroups is a mess Thank you for sharing your opinion, an explanation of why it is a mess would be nice.
- nwmcsween 15y agoZFS has l2arc, raid, scrubbing, dedup and it's stable, no enterprise will use btrfs in production for quite awhile due to bugs still being ironed out (read the mailing list). Regarding cgroups? Accounting is bolted on effectively tracking tracked pages.
- dignan 15y agoThere is support for ZFS on Linux at the kernel level [1]. I'm not sure how stable it is (something on my TODO list), but I believe it's actually more current than what's in FreeBSD. For jails on Linux there's jailkit [2]. I'm not sure if you've seen these, but I figured I'd offer them up as solutions that don't involve changing your platform!
