Works for me.

Why don't you anon run 3x3TB in Raid 0?

>>62102927
the people who use zfs use freenas on a separate machine

>>62102927
>>yet not many people use it
>no big companies use it

Google, Amazon and Facebook are not big companies, okay kid.

>Oracle owns ZFS
>Spends millions developing Btrfs vapourware for Linux instead of simply licensing ZFS under a GPL-compatible license
why

>>62103043
so just pooled in? is that wise, anon?

Btrfs

Best ever

Hans Zfs murdered his wife.
Never forget.

>No big companies use it

Yeah whatever you think, kid. You'll learn yourself once you get out into the world assuming you ever move past the computer repair shop level

Btrfs isn't as reliable or robust. It simply doesn't compete at the enterprise level which is where Oracle makes their money. It's nice to see it improving. In a few years it can be a decent SMB option

ZFS is pretty great though, anon.

>>62103938

Thats btrfs tho

I like how retards still think bit rot is a thing after floppys died.

>>62102927
Linux version is hampered by the License, so the port has very few paid programmers working on it.
Otherwise it does what it says on the tin.

BTRFS is trying to replicate all of the nice features anyway without the horrible Oracle license.

>dozens to hundreds of drives running 24/7 will never have a bit become flipped on its own at any given point ever

>>62103043
That's dumb as fuck. You better be running actual full backups. Raid0 is for steam libraries and nothing else.

Btrfs has no support. If you care about your data, use lvm and a suitable file system like ext4 or xfs. The problem with ZFS on linux isn't just the license itself. It uses a crappy solaris compatibility layer. If you really want to use zfs, then do a network share on a box running a supported illumos derivative. SmartOS and OpenIndiana are probably the best options.

>>62106525
But I use btrfs AND LVM, for both /home and /

What now

>>62106525
Just run FreeBSD instead.

They were developing Btrfs before they acquired sun, which might partly explain why btrfs hasn't really made incredible progress over the years.

Meh, bit-rot in kinda over blown these days, sure it'll happen but 99% of cases it's where either hardware failure has happened or failure of system to properly shutdown or sudden power failure during a file write. Those things can be addressed and eliminated or at least made to where the possible corruption is limited to small chunk of latest data and not the entire volume. You don't need ZFS to fix it either. ZFS is tied to hardware like anything else, so it's susceptible to the same failures, fat lot of good zfs will do if the server that runs it loses power unexpected like, specially if your writing/reading data when it happens.
