I've got a pool of a collection of harddisks, mirrored. Performance is pretty decent considering the slow disks.Oh having lots of available memory helps too, the ARC does a good job caching data, so the more the better.
I'm using zfs on arch for a few years now.No issues with the filesystem at all!The only thing I'm noticing is that on some ocasions I can't run updates if a new kernel has just came out; the arch repo doesn't have the zfs modules for the new kernel yet. Usually a day later I can run updates without an issue.
I partially agree. But on the other hand I like the convenience.Example: I need to enable ntp client on a machine? Just enable and start the service and done!
Done!
