Re: Anyone else just use ext4?

Ext4 locally, ZFS on my fileserver.

My fileserver snapshots my few TB or RaidZ3 every minute. If I've set it up right, there's no remote admin login, so you need physical access to delete snapshots.

I cryptolockered the lot from a throwaway VM attached via NFS and it was possible to rapidly recover every single file from snapshots... I didn't even need to restore anything from backup.

ZFS is marvellous... Let's just get the licence issue resolved...
