What I learned from setting up ZFS on my fileserver is an interesting look on the possibilities of different filesystems on differents OS'es, including OpenSolaris, BSD and Linux. Quite a different view from the ZFS. Respect article, which literally says "My personal opinion is that filesystems on Linux suck.".


My own opinion for file systems for home use : LVM and mdadm are sufficient, but YMMV off course.
