https://omnios.org/releasenotes.html Unlike Oracle Solaris with native ZFS, OmniOS stable is compatible with Open-ZFS but with its own dedicated software repositories per stable/lts release. This means that a simple 'pkg update' gives the newest state of the installed OmniOS release and not a...

I increasingly have the impression that Proxmox is becoming THE Linux universal server Current, very well maintained kernel with Debian as basis very good virtualization capabilities well-maintained ZFS This paves the way for Proxmox as a universal Linux server not only for any services as a...

SmartOS If you don't know SmartOS That is the most minimalistic Illumos distribution (Opensource Solaris fork). Similar to ESXi in good old days it runs compeletely in RAM after bootup. Systemfiles and folders are either restored or placed on the datapool like /var or /opt. A reboot and you...

I am interested if ZFS on ultra tiny systems can be remotely managed with a napp-it cs web-gui that requires nearly no resources on such a system. Required: Linux, ZFS and Perl Setup: none, just copy and start...

The flavours of ZFS native ZFS in Solaris 11. This is the Unix where ZFS was developped for. The most resource efficient and stable ZFS and propably the fastest one. In 20 years I have not seen as many bug reports up to dataloss than on Linux in a few...

https://openzfsonosx.org/ https://openzfsonwindows.org/ ZFS is a perfect solution now for mutual use (important data, large data ex 20TB disks, redundancy with copies=2 or encryption with a key per filesystem) or disaster backups (external offline - beside backup syncs) ZFS on OSX or Windows...

As we now have ZFS on every mainstream OS from BSD over OSX to Windows, I start using ZFS instead FAT on USB sticks or disks as the ultimate solution for data security on such unsecure media to have full checksum verification of data or redundancy with copies=2 There is no automount of ZFS...

I'm currently working on the topic of data tiering. With the special vdev, ZFS offers a very intelligent approach for hybrid pools made up of large but slow disks and expensive and fast SSD/NVMe. The basic idea with ZFS is: Particularly performance-critical data is stored on the fast special...

ZFS Solaris Unix is the origin of ZFS and still offers the best integration into the OS with the lowest resource needs for ZFS. While on Linux ZFS is just another filesystem among many others, Sun developped OpenSolaris together and ontop of ZFS as the primary filesystem (Oracle Solaris 11.4 and...

to automate ESXi management. I included it in napp-it to create safe ZFS snaps of VMs on ZFS/NFS filesystems with embedded ESXi snaps. This allows a ZFS snap rollback/ restore where you can then go back to the ESXi snap with hot memory or coalesce state (freezed VM filesystem ). Without this a...
