I'd be biased to agree since that's Manuel's blog, someone I used to work with. I've supported 24x7 and 9x5 ops where downtime was unacceptable. zfs makes it a whole lot easier to perform upgrades, know data and metadata are solid and send snapshots around.
- rch 13y ago> ZFS uses atomic writes and barriers This about settles the question for me. Assuming that the implication that btrfs performs otherwise holds true.
- midas007 13y agoYeah, it depends on the use case. For home directories and large risk items like financial stuff, testing that barrier writes are happening is a good thing. You don't want a storm to knock out a DC to learn that the hw/sw fs stack was lying to you at some level.
- tacticus 13y agoBarriers are also used in btrfs. and from what i can tell clone operations are also handled atomically though i kinda wonder what exactly is meant by atomic writes.
- rch 13y agoThanks for clearing that up. I might have to dig into it a bit more.
