   After observing how ZFS stripes data by default I am revoking my previous hype for running ZFS on Linux.

   This is a terrible idea. ZFS should only be ran on FreeBSD. No notes.

     @nova I believe ZFS was first implemented on FreeBSD long before Linux as the first non-SunOS system and has had many years to be tweaked. Also, while FreeBSD moves slower, I always felt the entire system was developed way more purposely than the ‘throw it at the wall and see what sticks’ approach that Linux distros felt like for years. Trying to install RedHat 5.2 vs FreeBSD when I was in college was a night and day difference. :freebsd_logo:

     @nova ZFS is fantastic but still needs to mature further before it becomes a mainstream default FS.
     I enjoyed working with it on Solaris 10 and 11. With planning it made life a little easier in the systems I was managing for a customer, particularly when expanding storage.

     @nova or Illumos. Same is true for NFS, which is still pathologically slow and stupid on Linux.
