A year ago I set up Ubuntu server with 3 ZFS pools on my server, normally I don’t make copies of very large files but today I was making a copy of a ~30GB directory and I saw in rsync that the transfer doesn’t exceed 3mb/s (cp is also very slow).
What is the best file system that “just works”? I’m thinking of migrating everything to ext4
EDIT: I really like the automatic pool recovery feature in ZFS, has saved me from 1 hard drive failure so far
ZFS should have better performance if you set it up correctly.
That’s exactly their gripe: out of the box performance.
If you set it up correctly
That’s, by the very definition, not out of the box.
I’ll try to know more about ZFS and I’ll do it better next time, I see a lot of people pro ZFS so it should be good
