Use BTRFS trust me it's stable now...well the commands are terrible compared to ZFS. All my Server are FreeBSD but on the Laptop and on one Workstation i have openSUSE Tumbleweed since like 2 years and it works great.
Really? I don’t think so, I find btrfs usage extremely straightforward and easy to grok. ZFS on the other hand has all that confusing lingo about vdevs, etc...
I get that this is subjective but I disagree.
As an example, you're running low on space and need to find out which datasets (subvolumes) are using the most space. How do you do that? With ZFS it's a single command which runs in a few milliseconds. With Btrfs...
what does that mean?
So I guess that the GP considers /usr/sbin/{zfs,zpool} more intuitive than /usr/sbin/btrfs.
It has nothing todo with /usr/sbin/x
>what does that mean?
Not functional but logical (for me)
ZFS on the other hand has just two commands for common administration tasks: zpool and zfs. zpool controls pool-level operations, mainly ones that deal with the storage layer; zfs controls the logical file systems and volumes that are contained within a pool. The zpool and zfs commands have been meticulously crafted to not expose much of the underlying software architecture and focus only on what administrators want, and all of it is clearly documented.
There are actually a few other commands that come with ZFS if you really want or need to deal with low-level and difficult details, commands like zdb, zinject, zstreamdump. You almost never need any of them.
