mcc"Due to potential legal incompatibilities between the CDDL and GPL, despite both being OSI-approved free software licenses which comply with DFSG, ZFS development is not supported by the Linux kernel"
✧✦Catherine✦✧@mcc been that way for decades now
@whitequark I have a new hard drive I intend to use primarily for backup and I am currently considering BTRFS or ZFS for the Linux part instead of ext4 (because I hear they can do some thing of storing extra error-checking data to protect against physical disk corruption). In your view, if I intend to use mainline Debian indefinitely, will BTRFS, ZFS, both, or neither give me the least pain getting things working?
ahoyboyhoy@mcc @whitequark I run root on ZFS and #zfsbootmenu on my two primary devices (desktop and laptop) and I've been very happy. Native encryption on my laptop, compression on everything. NAS FS is also zfs and I rely on incremental snapshot send for off-site backup. Rsync used to take 15 minutes just to calculate changes that need to be sent, this is essentially instantaneous now.
