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?
zpool import -fF -X .... ironwolfs are good but not as reliable as
WDC RED... I had some craches during power surge.. fortunately
