[Discuss] ZFS On Linux "in" Debian, migration from Btrfs

[mark at buttery.org (Shirley Márquez Dúlcey)]

Also in Ubuntu 16.04. The versions in Debian evidently got a lot of
patches from Ubuntu; it's nice to see code flowing in that direction
for a change. Ubuntu uses a lot of code from Debian but hasn't always
been good about sending it back, though that's as much the fault of
the Debian developers as of Ubuntu because the code has always been
available and suitably licensed.

I'm thinking of giving ZFS a try on my media server. I'm planning a
rebuild of that system anyway; I already have a pair of 4TB drives in
hand to replace the 1.5TB drives (RAID 1)  it currently has. And I can
delay reusing the old drives for a bit just in case ZFS blows up
horribly.
