IMO the cost savings for parity RAID trumps everything unless money |
| 14 |
just isn't a factor. |

Now, with ZFS it is frustrating because arrays are relatively |
| 17 |
inflexible when it comes to expansion, though that applies to all |
| 18 |
types of arrays. That is one major advantage of btrfs (and mdadm) over |
| 19 |
zfs. I hear they're working on that, but in general there are a lot |
| 20 |
of things in zfs that are more static compared to btrfs. |
