I’ve never used bcachefs and only recently read about some of the drama. I wish the project the best but at this point it is hard to beat zfs
They don't really compete on the same features, but I get what you mean.
zfs is confusing as hell for noobs like me. I only really recently learned how to use btrfs. Is there any real reason to use zfs over btrfs on Linux anyway?
There are some niche features, but if you're not aware of them then no. It's just licence encumbered btrfs for the majority of us.
On top of being confusing, I had my whole proxmox node crash because the ZFS pool randomly crashed out multiple times 🤷♂️
Probably due to the consumer grade nvme I was using it on but... Still why?
Also used a lot of extra ram just to function
I think it's just hardware optimization. You get a ton more pain and risk replacing a drive in zfs vs raid10, but it's more space efficient and flexible to use zfs. This is all academic, because the goal of these systems is a certain level of performance, availability, and data integrity, but not data safety. You need backups (preferably off-site and even off line) backups for that.
To be clear, I didn't lose any data, ended up moving everything off the ZFS pool and went back to ext, the crashes I had just made the ZFS unavailable until I rebooted the machine.
Definitely not going anywhere near the comments section on that phoronix article. It's guaranteed to be pure poison.
Tbh, what phoronix comment section isn't pure neurological poison?
Kent is such a dumbass. It's a pitty because it's a great filesystem.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
