  1. With #ZFS, this is history and this is the major benefit to me. With #block #suballocation [1] it has no problems with a high number of small files. And: I don't have to mess with the file level. I can create snapshots and they will transfer immediately, incrementally and replicate everything offsite, without me having to deal with the myriad requirements of Volumes, Filesystems and higher level software (etc.).

  2. #Btrfs #tailmerging #suballocation #tailpacking #disinformation #filesystem #filesystems #linux #blockdevice #facts - Just checked the facts, there's no tail-packing / tail-merging / sub-allocation feature even if many posts on the net claim so. It's annoying when some things are repeated as fact without checking the facts.
