My workplace has been using ZFS for years. I've yet to see an alternative come close to being compelling. We use OpenZFS on all our RHEL servers and even workstations with XFS for root partitions and smaller clients. Our primary file server is Solaris 11 but is coming to the end of its long life. The plan is to use FreeBSD on the replacement. ZFS has become so valuable to us that it alone can be a major factor in directing our other choices.Is nice to see it advancing in useful ways. Hopefully this leads to offline dedup without the runtime memory costs.
