About a year ago I switched to ZFS for Proxmox so that I wouldn’t be running technology preview.
Btrfs gave me no issues for years and I even replaced a dying disk with no issues. I use raid 1 for my Proxmox machines. Anyway I moved to ZFS and it has been a less that ideal experience. The separate kernel modules mean that I can’t downgrade the kernel plus the performance on my hardware is abysmal. I get only like 50-100mb/s vs the several hundred I would get with btrfs.
Any reason I shouldn’t go back to btrfs? There seems to be a community fear of btrfs eating data or having unexplainable errors. That is sad to hear as btrfs has had lots of time to mature in the last 8 years. I would never have considered it 5-6 years ago but now it seems like a solid choice.
Anyone else pondering or using btrfs? It seems like a solid choice.
Btrfs Raid 5 and raid 6 are unstable and dangerous
Bcachefs is cool but it is way to new and isn’t even part of the kernel as of yet.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcachefs it was added as of Linux 6.7
Edit: and I’ve said raid 5/6 as what troubles btrfs have so you proved my point while trying to explain to me that I’m not right
I though was then removed later as there was a disagreement between Linus and the bcachefs dev
Yeah, i remember something like that, i don’t remember exactly which kernel version it was when they removed it
Pretty sure it’s not removed, they just aren’t accepting any changes from the developer for the 6.13 cycle
Thanks for clarification)
