Literally dozens?!? Sign me up!

XFS is more like ext3 or ext4 than zfs. It has now COW, snapshots, although it is very performant and can handle very large volumes. It's a pretty good all around filesystem. I trust it more than ext4, but you also can't shrink it, like you can ext4.

It's primary write and maintainer killed his wife and went to prison. The fs stagnated after that.

Well, as I see it, Mr. Alito... You can either have Congress do it, or you can have an angry mob do it. Which do you prefer?

You know why. It requires stupid people.

I wouldn’t tell you if I use Linux. I would tell YOU to use Linux. That reminds me… use Linux!

It allows me to copy select datasets inside the pool.

So I can choose rpool/USERDATA/so-n-so_123xu4 for user so-n-so. I can also choose copy copy some or all of the rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_abcdef, and it's nested datasets.

I settle for backing up users and rpool/ROOT/ubuntu_abcdef, ignoring the stuff in var datasets. This gets me my users home, roots home, /opt. Tis all I need. I have snapshots and mirrored m2 ssd's for handling most other problems (which I've not yet had).

The only bugger is /boot (on bpool). Kernel updates grown in there and fill it up, even if you remove them via apt... because snapshots. So I have to be careful to clean it's snapshots.

ZFS send / recieve and snapshots.

Yeah. I mean, I knew that was a possibility, I'd read that plenty of times... I'd think, oh, I need to transfer those someday. Someday. Aaaaand it's gone. :(

Does it almost feel like you've been here before?

Yes you... (continue the tune)

Susceptible? It's their default position.

I've heard they are doing this to comply with things like GDPR. If that's the case, and they are deleting accounts to not be storing personal information longer than allowed, then before closing your account, they should email you an encrypted bundle of your data that you could later send back to them to restore your account. It wouldn't be against those laws if they send it to you to keep... and it would provide you with a path back to full restoration.

And I'd respond by flying a decent sized drone with a special gift right into their main office.

Only if they put one on first!

NO SNAPS!

I had emails back then from both home and work (and BBS rimemail and fido) all burned to CD's for archival. Found them 10 years ago in storage, none were still readable. :(

Dude, I'd long been dual ISDN by then. If my connection to my ISP ever went down, it was a race to see which of us called the other first and they'd work to resolve it with me right then.

I love musicals, but not on my TV shows.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
