It's insane and horribly disrespectful. I don't understand the animus either. I just sent a $ donation to the maintainer. The response to this bug is completely over the top. He found a security issue in an optional feature, immed

ZFS on Linux is absolutely fine in high-performance and critical computing applications. I also owned a Thumper and Thor running Solaris in 2009. Much prefer Linux and the hardware solutions today.

This is a bit ranty. ZFS is maturing on Linux and the codebase and general focus is on Linux today. Hardware compatibility and mindshare are also big factors. It seems like a subset of the TrueNAS community reveled in the fact that Core wa

There are definitely better ways to benchmark. I design similar NVMe-based ZFS solutions for specialized media+entertainment and biosciences workloads and have put massive time into the platform and tuning needs. Also think about who will b

We had the CGI Massachusetts state exchange business, which led to [additional exchange work]( https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2014/02/25/mana... ) in the lead-up. There were many last- minute

Syncoid is the way. Zrepl was more fraught in my use cases and significantly more complicated.

Oh, that's a bit cluttered...

Yeah, that's a myth now. It's not current advice.

Yep, I remember those days.

As #1 (now #2) on ServerFault.com for many years, it opened a lot of doors for me as a consultant. I could reference my reputation as a "body of work" and it carried a lot of weight. Most employers, staff, recruiters are familiar

I feel like we're missing a lot of detail between Vancouver, WA and how you ended up in rural Japan... Can you fill some of that in? How did you end up there?

In every ZFS on Linux discussion, there's a question like this. The short answer is that nobody really wants to be forced to run FreeBSD just for ZFS... Also consider hardware support, mindshare and the flexibility/need to use m
