ZFS does work. It works better than any other enterprise class filesystem I've ever worked with including XFS, JFS2 and AdvFS. But that's the thing: it's not a "simple" filesystem. It has hardware requirements that, if not met, will cause problems. One of the most common unmet requirements is that all consumer storage, including SD cards, lies about write commits. That is, they all confirm to the OS that they have committed writes when they haven't actually committed those writes. You *will* lose data if you use ZFS on this kind of storage. -- \m/ (--) \m/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@driftwood.blu.org https://driftwood.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
