ZFS Is the Best Filesystem For Now

There kinda isn't such a thing at this point. I sure wish there was! And this is the point behind the article: Wouldn't it be awesome if ZFS had continued developing as the super filesystem it looked like last decade? It would do all this and more! Frankly if ZFS supported re-balancing ("re-RAID-ing") and hybrid pools, it would be pretty much everything we all need. I do hope ZFS or Btrfs or something gets there.

It's so close though. BTRFS and Ceph both have what I want, they're just unstable. The BcacheFS dev has told me he's close but not quite there yet.

Hopefully one of the other solutions will work, otherwise I'll just have to build it.

bcachefs really does seem as if it will be our holy grail, we have very similar needs.

They have a patreon if you wish to contribute that way.

I already contribute and help out with testing and the occasional docs on IRC :)
