OK, that is a bit concerning then. As good as ZFS may be, i'm not sure I want
to committ to a file system that is 'broken' and may not be fully fixed, if at
all.
Hmmmmmnnn...
My home server is still running snv_82, and my iMac is running Apple's
last public beta release for Leopard. The way I see it, the on-disk
format is sound, and the basic "always consistent on disk" promise seems
to be worth something. My files are read-mostly, and performance isn't
an issue for me. ZFS has protected my data for several years now in the
face of various hardware issues. I'll upgrade my NAS appliance to
OpenSolaris snv_134b sometime soon, but as far as I can tell, I can't
use Oracle Solaris 11 Express for licensing reasons (I have backups of
business data). I'll be watching Illumos with interest, but snv_82 has
served me well for 3 years, so I figure snv_134b probably has quite a
lot of useful life left in it, and maybe then brtfs will be ready for
prime time?
