- karmakaze 3y agoI was curious why in a pragmatic sense and found some good use-cases[0]. One unexpected one was "installing /home and / on two different partitions [...] worry about sizing [...]. Using ZFS datasets instead provides all the benefits of this with none of the drawbacks."

- CoolCold 3y agoI still do prefer having bookable system on ext3/ext4 , i.e. /boot and / (preferably being MD RAID beneath). The rest (/home, /data, ...) can be on "cool" tech. Idea of course is to be able to fix things inside booted server, not deal with IPMI/KVM stuff as much as possible.
