What would ZFS do for those issues? I guess maybe deduplication, but otherwise I'm not thinking of anything that you can't do with mount --bind and overlays (and I'm not even sure ZFS would replace overlays)
- bsder 1y agoSnapshots seems to be a cheap feature in ZFS but are expensive everywhere else, for example. OverlayFS has had performance issues on Linux for a while (once you start composing a bunch of overlays, the performance drops dramatically as well as you start hitting limits on number of overlays).
- adrian_b 1y agoNowadays the ZFS advantage for snapshots is no longer true. Other file systems, e.g. the much faster XFS, have equally efficient snapshots.
