I worked at a company that shipped petabytes of ZFS storage for years and years. Think 42u racks with 60 drive JBODs. Hundreds of these. Hundreds. And they were a very small company. Can you imagine the scale Sun and Oracle shipped hardware at? Was there any linux based hardware company operating at the same scale?

I don’t think we had any customers request ext4 bulk data storage. OS drives sure. Everything else was ZFS. Or weirder proprietary filesystems!

Yeah, that GPFS was real pita, i'm not talking about size comparison issues. I'm talking about runtime in the field.

You simply can't begin to understand the amount of shitty iot and android devices that exist.
