Re:OpenZFS Merged to FreeBSD
on Tuesday August 25, 2020 @08:43AM (#24270713)
Zfs does not work well on sparse volumes, it loves new blocks. That's why you don't see it much in a VM or on storage that is sparse (go nimble, NetApp, etc)
Also it's pretty much impossible to grow a zfs pool and there are no consistency check tools or repair tools. So when you actually do get corruption, you lose it all.
Might have been a breakthrough around 2000 but it's time for something new.

So tired of seeing this. The problem is you don't want to do ANY striping on ANY SMR drives. It's not a ZFS problem. It's not a SMR problem. It's STRIPING on SMR. PERIOD.
Once upon a time people knew what they were talking about. Now everybody's an EXPERT NPC.

Pluto tv reminds me of those telemarketers that won't stop calling. Once I signed up I got endless spam and phishing attempts in my inbox making it almost unusable.

Absolutely. Fully agreed. And so are casinos. You notice they're built near high concentrations of poor people so they can get back all that welfare money rather than cutting it.

Who cares?
Still don't know anything about Benghazi either.
Point is, you can find out a lot about a person by whether or not they are angered by Watergate or Benghazi. But in reality, it's the jobs, stupid. Taxes. The American Dream. Get over it.
