Anyone planning on ZFS or BTRFS for file systems?
#1
I like the snapshot, built-in mirroring, and other features of ZFS & BTRFS. By preference, I'd use ZFS, it's more mature, and has more features than BTRFS. But, either one would give me alternate boot environments, so OS upgrades can be less painful. Been using ZFS on Linux for 4.5 years, and I like it. (Used BTRFS before then, and alternate boot partitions before BTRFS.)

Anyway, with a dedicated "/boot" partition, ZFS on Linux allows all the features. Including native ZFS encryption, (pool wide or dataset / zVol).

Has anyone here used ZFS or BTRFS on ARM64?


I guess it's time to un-pack my old media server, (a slower, low power quad core AMD64), and practice / test the latest OpenZFS features like pool or dataset encryption. (After all, PBP is a laptop, made for travel...)
