First time I've heard that about ZFS, is that really a thing? It was made by Sun to be the ultimate industrial strength FS.

Might be missing a negation, then it's a comparison to btrfs.

Me, I'm waiting for bcachefs - Linux native and carefully designed.

bcachefs will have its share of teething issues. Being merged into mainline is only the first step of a very long journey.

if there is still just one guy working on it, i think it is dead on arrival.

I've been hearing about this bcachefs for ages

Actually just realized all the examples I was thinking of were BTRFS.

Apologies to the ZFS people

No offense taken, I've certainly had a few zfs headaches. But thankfully never anything that couldn't be worked out.

Nonetheless, ZFS definitely gets "angsty" under certain workloads, owing to it being a garbage-collected file system. It's the wrong choice for workloads such as databases which expect the filesystem to essentially "pass through" the performance characteristics of the underlying block device.
