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.

I didn’t downvote you, I’m genuinely curious what you mean about zfs being a “pig”.

What parts are “a bitch” to work with?

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.
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.
