Lvm can get you 80% of the way to basic zfs. I’m a bit similar, old school Unix who likes debian because it makes sense, but storage is one of my dominating constraints so zfs is mandatory (even if I hate stuff like the way the arc works by default).
Comment on Which is better OMV or TrueNAS?

I verry much like OMV, simply because i could use it with knowledge i already have.
I’ts a Debian system -> I understand that I’t uses normal RAID and ext4 -> I understand that (Plus, if things go wrong, I can just pop the drives back into any other computer and use it without much fuss) It has a rSnapshot plug in -> I already used that in the past.
Sure I’m missing out on fancy stuff like BTRFS / ZFS, but i can live with that.

TrueNAS Scale is also Debian and uses standard ZFS for drive management. However I’m not a fan of the TrueNAS webUI, it feels overly complex and stuff can be hard to find.
