Hi,
We have two 'big' filesystems, UFS and ZFS. How do people decide when
to use which? I'm trying to build a "decision matrix" of when to use
each.
My virtualization system runs KVM, so I use UFS on VMs. Restoring
ZFS disk images via dd can be problematic.
For larger boxes running on real iron, I use ZFS.
But there's a whole range of conditions between these two. And the way
to fill in the gray spaces is to ask.
So, how do you decide to use which filesystem?
