Wow...! How long has that been available? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
I also recall something about being able to use the latest/greatest too, |
| 20 |
but the overlay would have to pull the sources from Oracle...? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
So, would appreciate comments on what version of ZFS this would pull in, |
| 23 |
limitations, caveats, dangers, etc... |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Also, it has been a while since I read anything - what is the current |
| 26 |
state of BTRFS vs ZFS? Is it stable/mature enough to use for production? |
| 27 |
What can ZFS do that it cannot? |
| 28 |

Thanks Neil! |
