    it's well-known fact. inferior oses come with rigid containers, linux comes with building blocks out of which you can build containers which will suit you and that allowed linux containers to dominate. this is why when you say "container" you mean "linux" rather than "bsd" or "sun"
    you post random words without knowing their meaning
    Attack the messenger. Sorry man.. truth is hard. Do the hard work Linux! Engineer, be exceptional. I want that, I would love to see linux change it's philosophy and shine. Go get container ID's in ps and top.. it's about time.

      because that's a comparison from article "2. related work 2.1 zfs."

      moron, can't you read every line of comparison? btrfs works on single drive, btrfs uses btree of extents which is more space and time efficient, btrfs checksums individual pages, btrfs can clone from clone, btrfs has raid 1 and 0. and not on that list, but still important: btrfs can be resized

      since you have no such thing as brain. arc is in-memory structure, it has nothing to do with filesystem. and btw linux has plenty of caching mechanisms

      You would know that if you would be using dedup on btrfs.
      there are many different implementations of dedup for btrfs with different properties and overheads. you would know that if you weren't mindlessly reposting zfs propaganda

        So what Linux changed so far in OS philosophy?
        PS. I'm assuming that you feel weak on btrfs vs zfs field and you want to start new subject. Am I right?

            you can't come up with smarter questions?
            After reading the bug report, that I doubt you read, that Fedora referenced I came to the conclusion that they are trying find simple & easy ways for users to manage their systems without forcing the user through complicated steps. To me that sounds a lot like WINDOWS, but I doubt you have ever used WINDOWS or it's SERVER flavors. That is why I made references to "What do Windows users do".

            Your comment suggests that Fedora WANTS users to work through complicated steps to manage storage space within the system, but the link in the article and the Fedora bug report referenced by the page from that link don't support your view.

            From what I can tell:
            Fedora wants their system administration to be easier, so users don't have to follow complicated steps to use all available storage space currently in the system; sounds like a noble goal to me. The linked Fedora page, that I doubt you read, focused on a discussion of methods to have 2 different mount points built on unique partitions and thus having a fixed size (a byproduct of their installer, IIRC) both access the same remaining "free space" in the system, and it looks like they figured out a way to do it. For some users that will solve some problems. It does not yet appear to solve the inevitable problem of actually running out of storage space on existing media where the only solution left is adding another drive and possibly moving 1 or more mount points and their associated files to the new larger storage media; a complex and complicated task that newbies would certainly mess up (a goal Fedora is trying to avoid) and experienced users generally groan about while accomplishing the task.

              btrfs also has checksum. and btrfs has another sources even on single drive.

              you fail to read. btrfs clones are first class citizens, you can clone from clone. on zfs you can't

              btrfs dedup is not set in stone either

                just look around. linux's shine dominates. you have to be blind to not see it

                  that's one checksum per 128kb block instead of 32 checksums of btrfs

                  btrfs raid 0 and 1 also don't have numbers, i use such numbers only because they are similar, but they are superior

                    you fail to read. btrfs clones are first class citizens, you can clone from clone. on zfs you can't
                    btrfs dedup is not set in stone either
                    smartphones still have only one drive
                    I don't understand.. why can't you have ZFS on a single device?

                    pool: zpool
                    state: ONLINE
                    scan: none requested
                    config:

                    NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
                    zpool ONLINE 0 0 0
                    ada0p2 ONLINE 0 0 0

                    errors: No known data errors


                    Looks fine to me. Realistically you want something that is as paranoid about data integrity as ZFS on the most flaky of drives.. such as usb sticks. it's good there, it's also cross platform. (linux, bsd, macos, solaris, windows etc)

                    And you can clone a clone, a clone is just a writable snapshot. btw, ZFS also has another level of "snapshot" called a bookmark where it can undo everything, even deleted volumes (datasets)

                    Pal666... Lets just be honest here.. you just don't like the licence right? Because you head it was "anti-linux" or something? It's not, the FSF was wrong about it. ZFS is a benefit to Linux because it allows it to do a lot of great things. It allows Linux to compete with NetApp and EMC... I'll bet there are hundreds of people reading this who run Linux VM's backed by NetApp.. wouldn't it be cool if they ran Linux VM's on Linux? ZFS allows us to do this today, the capabilities for enterprise storage are already there.

                    Let the past die, it was a lie.

                      So which one is working at lease the same well as that one which was in ZFS in 2013?
                      PS. I'm not asking about the same quality/performance/resources consumption as it is now in Solaris 11.4 last ASRU.
