First time I've heard that about ZFS, is that really a thing? It was made by Sun to be the ultimate industrial strength FS.
- ahartmetz 3y agoMight be missing a negation, then it's a comparison to btrfs. Me, I'm waiting for bcachefs - Linux native and carefully designed.
- SubjectToChange 3y agobcachefs will have its share of teething issues. Being merged into mainline is only the first step of a very long journey.
- ugjka 3y agoif there is still just one guy working on it, i think it is dead on arrival. I've been hearing about this bcachefs for ages
- slyall 3y agoActually just realized all the examples I was thinking of were BTRFS. Apologies to the ZFS people
- ktm5j 3y agoNo offense taken, I've certainly had a few zfs headaches. But thankfully never anything that couldn't be worked out.
- colanderman 3y agoNonetheless, ZFS definitely gets "angsty" under certain workloads, owing to it being a garbage-collected file system. It's the wrong choice for workloads such as databases which expect the filesystem to essentially "pass through" the performance characteristics of the underlying block device.
