  Except having slightly better deduplication, I don’t the see what justifies the extra complexity and living under the bad aura of Oracle. LVM does almost everything ZFS does, it’s just less abstracted, which I like actually because I want to know on what hard drive my stuff is, not some mushy file cloud that either all works or is all gone.

    LVM is not even close

    ZFS is way more fault tolerant and scalable due to the underlying design. In continually does data integrity checks and will catch but flips.

    ZFS also has Arc which allows your ram to act as a full on cache which improves performance.

      You can do data scrubbing with PAR2 or filesystem level with btrfs on top of LVM (or even in a traditionnal partition)

      I think you can ram cache with bcachefs or a ramdrive, and unless you’re in a VM then your file system driver would already do file caching in ram ?

        Don’ use bcachefs as it isn’t stable and was removed from the kernel

        I would just use ZFS. Don’t reinvent the wheel.
