Looks interesting nothing I do is this mission critical. But it could be really slick on desktops where work is being done.

Re: Anyone tried zfs-fuse ?
I looked into it but haven't tried it yet. I've been playing with btrfs but it's not ready yet either. I will play with zfs later this year--- -
Re: Anyone tried zfs-fuse ?
I understand this is an old topic and I apologize if it is inappropriate to comment. My comment seems better served here than in a new thread.
I'm a kubuntu ex-patriot who switched to ArchLinux back in the KDE 3.5 days, due to kubuntu's atrocious KDE version control. Now I'm up against some really nasty Arch KDE version control, to the point that I won't take updates because I'm sick of spending a couple of days sorting out my system. One of my show-stoppers is zfs-fuse so I've been searching these forums. I require zfs-fuse to support a 16 x 2TB raidz2 cylo that stores video projects and archived footage.
Zfs-fuse is a killer app. It is a game changer. I ran XFS/mdadm for years and it was mostly OK but so many of my files are tagged with corruption from bit rot and SATA controller bugs that I have completely banned that technology. The toughest aspect of that situation is not realizing the files were being lost until years later. Many of those files contain interviews and video that are irreplaceable. ZFS has provided reliability features that restore confidence and integrity to data.
ZFS-fuse is not fast but it's not as tragically slow as it once was. On my system, I see about 40MB/s in a 16 drive raidz2. That's pretty good, considering the reliability mechanisms that are working below the surface to insure the integrity of my data.
ZFS-fuse is not a panacea. I don't care if I can ever boot off a ZFS drive and I don't use it for my \home partition. For data stores, it's unrivaled.Comment
