+1 to this, ZFS with NixOS is quite manageable.

One thing I'm not a fan of though is the guide on the NixOS wiki was removed and instead points to this guide in the OpenZFS docs: https://openzfs.github.io/openzfs-docs/Getting%20Started/Nix...

It does not have much in the way of rationale - I.e. they say you need minimum 1GB reserve space but don't say what reserve space is and why you need it.

I recall the NixOS wiki used to explain options and trade offs in a lot more detail.

Nice tip re: latestCompatibleLinuxPackage! Had not seen that anywhere yet (probably because I haven't had any issues yet).
