Okay, but you should still run ZFS because I really don't think anyone is going to make a better file system.

If you don't have files, you don't need a file system

Yes. ZFS has a couple layers of caching in RAM and it actually reads from those caches first, before trying to read from disk. And then it caches whatever it has to read from disk, in RAM. That's why you need lots of ECC RAM to run ZFS. Because errors which propogate from RAM to disk cannot be corrected and such will destroy the whole file system.

Ze cult of ZFS strikes again.

Comment is funny in assuming ZFS is objectively better than NTFS or APFS or FAT16.

I actually use openzfs. I like it. Why are you giving me shit for that?
