The point of ZFS is to prevent layer problems by making one entity responsible for most of them; so, if you were already going to use several of: - CoW - RAID - integrity assurance - snapshotting - multiple filesystems sharing a storage pool - automatic spares - compression - deduplication or the other features that ZFS supports, then ZFS makes sense. If you only want one or two of those features, it's less obviously a good choice. -dsr- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.blu.org https://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
