@sun on that note, do you actually use zfs features? Or do you just want the reliability?

Even when I used btrfs I never used snapshotting or anything. I always thought that having any kind of backup (aside from checksums/integrity info) sitting next to live data was silly.

CoW is good I guess, but I thrashed a drive something fierce before I remembered to disable that for VM images.

@eriner I use snapshotting a lot for multiple things including database and a couple blockchain nodes. also it afaik doesn't so much prevent corruption as it detects physical failure a lot faster.
