   This checks out with my anecdata... My wife, a licensed teacher in our state, was switching jobs from one school district to another, and watching her go through that process was interesting... The interview process for any kind of school a

   This reminds me of a joke: "The reason we haven't been hacked is because we still run 16‐bit POS systems, and today's hackers don't know how to fix anything is such a small address space."

   It's funny that you link to a comment from 6 years ago. Just a month after that there was a pretty big bug in ZFS that corrupted data. https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/7401 Corresponding HN discuss

   I know it's not the same thing, but Quickemu happily works over SSH too. Run it on a remote system via ssh, and it will "X-Forward" the Qemu console on my local Wayland session in Fedora. First time I ran it, thinking I was d

   If you are only using those two tools, then you only have a system for replication (and snapshots), but not a backup system. If there is a data corruption bug in ZFS, it will propagate to your remote and corrupt data there. I hope you have

   Galaxy S10+ came out in 2019. I believe this was the last flagship to have a microSD card slot.

   Sage is one of the nicest, down to earth, super smart individuals I've met. I've talked to him at a few OpenStack and Ceph conferences, and he's always very patient answering questions.

   Not sure about putting DBs on CephFS directly, but Ceph RBD can definitely run RDBMS workloads. You need to pay attention to the kind of hardware you use, but you can definitely get Ceph down to 0.5-0.6 ms latency on block workloads doing s

    It's been a while since I've done some benchmarks, but it can definitely do 40MB/s sustained writes, which is very good given the single 1GbE links on each node, and 5TB SMR drives. Latency is hilariously terrible though. It&

    I run Ceph on some Raspberry Pi 4s. It's super reliable, and with cephadm it's very easy[1] to install and maintain. My household is already 100% on Linux, so having a native network filesystem that I can just mount from any lapt

    I work at a Fortune 50 company and the pendulum for us has already swung back around. 5 years ago it was all "move everything to public". Now, we're building a bunch of on-prem infra and there are huge projects to move work

    I love my LG washer/dryer combo. Yes, it takes a bit longer, but it's half the work from my point of view. I only load and unload clothes once (not twice). I only program a machine once (not twice). One big feature my LG has is i

    I've never had data loss with either ZFS or btrfs. For me on Fedora, uptime is better and maintenance overhead is lower on btrfs.

    I guess I meant it as having a separate repair tool, but yes, you're of course correct. To me it was always weird to not have a separate tool for being able to do an offline ZFS repair. With regards to data corruption, I mean, this is

    The packaging was a major reason for switching to btrfs. I run sudo dnf upgrade and that's it, my system is upgraded. Zero issues ever. With ZFS I had to pin to older kernel versions, not to mention a bunch of manual steps and clean

    Btrfs does not have native encryption. I use LUKS / dm-crypt on entire drive partitions. Did that with ZFS too, and by the time ZFS got this feature I was already planning my migration to btrfs. I like encrypting with LUKS, because I

    Yeah, of course you should be doing that. I was just trying to say that people shouldn't pretend like having snapshot-based, filesystem-level replication alone (which can be a very efficient way of replicating data changes) is a good

    The reason, and the difference, is that all these other filesystems have check and repair (and sometimes multiple) tools. Please correct me, but ZFS has none.

    For me it was the previous data corruption bug [1] that killed any enthusiasm for ZoL. After that annoyances like the caching issues you mention and the constant kernel upgrades breaking DKMS on Fedora just stopped being worth it for me. I

    This is why you should always have proper backups, and a great reminder that snapshots are not backups.
