Dug this up, and started reading the thread.<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/32cu9w/zfs_vs_btrfs/">https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/32cu9w/zfs_vs_btrfs/</a><br>
<br>
Looks like it will offer more features than ZFS and will satisfy
some people's desire license-wise (GPL)...when it's ready? Given
that people are saying big companies are funding active
development, maybe that's not too far off?<br>
<br>
Maybe it's a vim vs. Emacs thing, though. But it's good to have
options and maybe the two projects will push each other toward
further excellence.<br>
<br>
I wonder how hard it is to get ZFS on Linux, though. I also wonder
how well ZFS in a VM scenario (guest or host) works for either
Linux or FreeBSD. I wish I still had my stable of desktops/servers
around to experiment with.<br>

Anyone doing this? As many of you may or may not know, I
dabble in the <br>
BSDs from time to time, and one of those more recent outcomes
of that <br>
dabbling was a FreeNAS server I set up about 2 years ago to
support Time <br>
Machine for macs as well as content for a Plex server.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
I just sort of dove headlong into it, and didn't much
background reading <br>
on ZFS itself. Since I'm now thinking of getting more drives
(but cannot <br>
really afford them until maybe next year) and probably backing
<br>
up/reconfiguring, I thought I'd read about it, so I picked up
the <br>
FreeBSD Mastery: ZFS book and started reading it.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
They give a bit more background on ZFS - I didn't realize that
Snoracle <br>
took it closed source after acquisition, and that what is
commonly <br>
called "ZFS" is probably really OpenZFS, and that Snoracle has
their own <br>
version now, different than what the rest of world calls ZFS.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
Anyway, I got to wondering about the state of ZFS on Linux and
see there <br>
is a site: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://zfsonlinux.org/">http://zfsonlinux.org/</a><br>
<div><br>
</div>
Anyone here have any experience with it? Is ZFS poised to be a
<br>
mainstream thing on Linux, or is there something else more
likely to <br>
fill that role?<br>
