This must be one of those YMMV things, because I have systems with both kinds of RAID, and I find ZFS to be vastly easier to administer (and, in fact, superior in every way except the extremely annoying license incompatibility whose result is that one can't boot from a ZFS drive into debian). > And since ZOL is not integrated into Debian, I had to invent > scripts to get things mounted at boot and cleanly unmounted at shutdown. > I don't know why you had to do that. I have in the past few days put ZoL on a brand new debian system, and the ZFS pools are mounted and unmounted exactly as one would hope, without any intervention from me. If you are trying to use ZFS for /boot or some of the other system hierarchies, then I can see how you would have a problem that would likely require home-grown scripts; but if ZFS is being used just to hold data (or user home directories), then you should not have to write any scripts to handle mounting and unmounting. > > Perhaps someone with mdadm experience can offer some pointers for > learning enough mdadm to set up RAID 0. > I did it by trial-and-error (as I "learn" most things) and I have to say that it took a lot longer than the same process did for ZFS. The Arch wiki, I recall, was the most useful single resource. Doc -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
