Comment on Case study: recovery of a corrupted 12 TB multi-device pool

Comments

Welp. Guess I need to figure out another fs to use for a few drives in a nonraid pool I haven't gotten around to setting up yet. I forget why zfs seemed out. xfs?

ZFS is out because the Linux developers refuse to cooperate by providing the hooks it would need to avoid duplicating the disk cache.

That’s the only real reason. There are some papercuts, but they don’t compare to the risks described in this article.
