Will you detect data corruption before your snapshots rotate? ZFS controls saved data. Also, it saves more more space then rsync as it can store just the difference (rsync will copy whole file if changed, which makes things like snapshots o

I think there are even some tools to do this directly in GRUB, at least for btrfs. We can have automatically created list of available snapshots.

Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses different ZFS then Linux. Yes, it's crazy, but currently I think it is not guaranteed to be able to mount ZFS between these systems. Fortunately, FreeBSD is supposed to base their ZFS on Linux version in fut

I use it on both servers and notebooks. I did not notice increased power usage, but if it matters to you, you should check it. I use it mainly for non-root volumes because of bad experience in the past (dkms deciding to not build zfs module

Stock - in theory yes, but look at how massively overpriced they are now. For example, do you think 123B capitalization of Netflix is appropriate to value of company itself? If there was no expectation of stock value going up indefinitely,

Could you explain what do you mean by "NFS hardware offload"? Google search points mostly to VMWare-specific "VAAI NAS framework", which doesn't seem to be useful in case of database over NFS.
