PSA: OpenZFS for Linux simply corrupts your data if you hibernate. Sigh.
@lukedashjr ...an almost 10 year old issue... :/
FWIW I've used btrfs on hibernating laptops without issues in the past. Though not recently, as qubes doesn't play nice with hibernation.
@pete I made the mistake of using btrfs once. Never again.
@lukedashjr I've used it on most of my machines for years, both with and without RAID1. Never had any issues. And it's checksums have saved me from failing hardware on a few occasions.
@pete btrfs got to the point my IRC connections were timing out because the IRC client was blocking on writing log files...
@lukedashjr How long ago was that?
Many years ago there were performance issues like that. But they seem to have been fixed.
@pete Maybe a year ago.
@pete I also didn't like the fact that when I found a bug, I had to fix it myself. :p
@lukedashjr What hardware setup? Any unusual usage patterns? Use of snapshots heavily?
All the performance sensitive stuff I use it for is on ssd's; I use it on backup drives too. But if they had latency spikes I'd never notice.
@lukedashjr That might be it then. I don't keep more than a few dozen snapshots.
@pete @lukedashjr I have to say, I’ve never even considered running ZFS on a laptop because of it’s enormous appetite for RAM.
Love it on my servers though.
i'm using ~1000 concurrent snaps on my zfs installations and never had a problem like that.
@pete Daily snapshots for years.
