2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Cool I had no idea. I like zstd from them. I don't really want to argue if it works for you that's great. I've seen so many problems with corruption that I wouldn't recommend it. I guess I'll give it another try in a VM some day. I really tried to move to it before migrating back to zfs land. I do recall the send and receive working pretty flawlessly. Also was a huge fan of duperemove.

    Do you know if it has support for something like zvols yet?

    Yes, it did have problems a few years ago, especially regarding RAIDs, but it's improved a lot since then. RAID5 still sucks though ๐Ÿ˜... but I read the problem is finally been worked on (haven't checked code, I read about it in a sub on reddit).

    No, it doesn't have something like zvol, it has the regular subvolumes (pools in ZFS) and you can assign quotas, the same as in ZFS. But, to represent itself as separate block device, no. And I don't think this is something that's planned, though I could be wrong (as I said, I haven't looked at their git in ages).
