That logic is totally bogus AFAIC. There are so many advantages to
running ZFS that denying yourself that opportunity is very short
sighted - especially when there are lots of ways of working around this
minor feature deficiency.
I cannot let you say that.
Here in my company we are very interested in ZFS, but we do not care
about the RAID/mirror features, because we already have a SAN with
RAID-5 disks, and dual fabric connection to the hosts.
We would have migrated already if we could simply migrate data from a
storage array to another (which we do more often than you might think).
Currently we use (and pay for) VXVM, here is how we do a migration:
But you describe VxVM feature, not a file system feature.
But in the context of zfs, this is appropriate.
