Other than lack of support for NAS file systems in OpenBSD, is there a reason not to use ZFS (in favor of another file system providing similar features)?

- sdadams 4y agoThe muxfs source code is a lot smaller than that of ZFS so if security is a concern to you then you might find muxfs easier to audit than ZFS. It also compiles quickly so could be a good match for a source-based system. This said I never aimed to "beat" ZFS.
- mst 4y agoI appreciate how clear you are about the chosen trade-offs and I am also quite impressed by the extent to which the install instructions include "and now here's how you check that worked" commands - I'm sure somebody reading this will think "well, yes, obviously you should include those" but it's not as common as I might like and your version thereof is notably thorough.
