@santi exactly. ZFS loves the ram, and is also kind enough to release it when needed (but on illumos and FreeBSD better than Linux). I need to re-test it on NetBSD as at the Dev Summit they told me that, in NetBSD 11.x, it's much better.

@stefano @cos I think I'd rely more on snapshots and zfs send if more storage solutions supported it. I can't just always rent another VPS. Sometimes something like a Hetzner storage box with restic is better for my use case.

It is meant for the boring-but-important corner of infrastructure where "probably replicated" is not the vibe. The main bit in this release: bzfs can now drive recursive resumable ZFS stream packages …

hardware corruption?! Sometimes, errors occur when the USB connection is physically disturbed. Other times, there's no obvious explanation. I might be hands-off, with my cat nowhere near, at the time.

… Let's move on. It's still quite newsworthy; Cody Franklin used the phrase "recently". Until yesterday, I never heard anyone from TrueNAS or IXsystems talk about the transition. I learnt something new.
