Re: Need advice on ZFS



Hello,

I use ZFS on my NetBSD 10 server for a while to store all my family member's data and have never met any problem or data loss. I even managed to hack SSD caching into it - the NetBSD version doesn't seem to support cache files, only (SSD) disks, but with vnd0 (and a bit modification to /etc/rc.d/zfs) it is possible:

NAME        STATE
storage     ONLINE
  mirror-0  ONLINE
    wd0       ONLINE
    wd1       ONLINE
  cache
    vnd0      ONLINE

The wd disks are 4TB IronWolves - the server's 8Gb of memory is more than enough for this volume (without deduplication, of course).

Warm regards:

J.

Should I trust NetBSD's ZFS with my user's data?

I understand that our ZFS isn't being kept up as well as FreeBSD's,
that's why I have FreeBSD on one box on my home network, but I'd like
to keep all *my* hosts on NetBSD (my users run Windows). I have one
user (my wife) who has over 5 Terabytes of stuff she's very protective
of, but relies on me to protect it.

When I set up the file server I specified compatibility=2020. Would our
ZFS understand that?
