Hi sfatula,
Thanks for the info. I have been already looking into alternatives. I am looking into either moving to a full BSD system or one of the Linux flavour. I am looking to the ones that actually are supporting the latest version of Openzfs 2.2.26. I would prefer Oracle’s zfs, but let’s see how that will go.
I am not too crazy about moving to TNS. Perhaps once it is more developed I might look into it.
Well, I am actually a Scale user for a few years now. I used to run my own but was spending too much time on it so happier on Scale as it just runs. Ex BSD user here, many years ago.
I am not clear on ZFS version in Scale, I believe they add patches to it, zfs version shows 2.2.99 which can’t be. But Scale is not a distribution, and even if it was, it is more like Debian, slow changes. Certainly nothing like arch linux.
OpenZFS is running circles around Oracle’s, in terms of features and development.
…for what I read in sourceforge, “XigmaNAS … includes ZFS (OpenZFS), …” so, is not Oracle ZFS there either.
All FreeBSD base system are running Openzfs since version 12 something. Before that, it was Oracle zfs.
I will have to look again into the differences. Several feature I used to use in Oracle’s zfs weren’t available on Openzfs. But again, it has been a while since I read about the differences.
I am glad you like it. For me, TNC has been working for what I needed, but lately I have encounter several issues, possible bugs, that are giving me some grief.
I still use BSD distro, like Dragonfly and Ghost. I think the last two are very much at stand still. I haven’t use them for a while since I am more on FreeBSD now days. Scale is base on Linux, last I read. I believe it was Ubuntu which it is a Debian fork. Arch on the other hand, has a peculiar distribution. They use a rolling distro which allows just to continue from whichever point it is installed on the system. They just keep upgrading from there. I think the right term is rolling-release or something like that.
