Not at all.

OK, I got some missing bells and whistles in my current setup, which is just a poor man’s NAS made of ZFS and samba, plus a nextcloud for convenience.

But I fell so much in love with ZFS that I would never replace it with unraid. For my next box I am looking forward to use TrueNAS instead.

Unraid supports ZFS

    There’s no need to be a dick about it.
    
    I meant no disrespect, I suppose I should have been more direct.
    
    I asked about ZFS because it is not really that difficult to set up and there aren’t that many variables involved. You create a pool, then start using it. There isn’t much more to it.
    
    Its not baked into the arch kernels so unless you’ve got your wits about you running updates can fuck everything up.
    
    That is an arch problem, not ZFS. An update on Debian with ZFS would almost never behave like this.
    
    I asked about virtualization because it would allow you to break things intentionally and flip back to a desired state, which seems to fit with your like of solving broken stuff.
    
    So in the end, you’re obviously free to do what you like, and that’s the great thing about Linux. But you definitely seem to want to do things the hard way.
    
    Have a better one.

  I have given up on ZFS entirely because of how much of a pig it was.

    A pig on what?

    I don’t know what that other dude’s on about.
    
    The general consensus on zfs is (or at least was) that your need 1Gb of RAM per terabyte of zpool. Especially if you want to run deduplication.
    
    If you don’t need dedupe the requirements drop significantly.

    Looks like I angered people by not loving ZFS. I don’t feel like being bagged on further for using it wrong or whatever.
