Phoronix: OpenZFS 2.1 Released With dRAID, Compatibility Property, Better Performance

Shipping now as the successor to last November's big OpenZFS 2.0 release is OpenZFS 2.1 as quite a worthy follow-on release...

A good phoronix article would be draid benchmarking vs linux equivalent

It would also be interesting to see a comparison of various 24-drive or 45-drive or 90-drive (whatever is available) storage setups using ZFS (multiple raidz1, raidz2, raidz3, different draid setups for 1-parity, 2-parity, 3-parity). Just to see what (if any) performance difference there is between raidz and draid.

Along with the ZFS vs LVM+device-mapper stack.

Mainline OpenZFS Windows support is also very much still in the works. It'll be a damn nice day when OpenZFS is able to be my every OS file system without having to go through compat layer hoops like custom WSL2 builds.

To add to what they said -- I'd be interested in simpler 2 to 6 HDD setups; z2 (mirror), z3 (raid1), z2+z2, and z3+z3 with and without a hi-speed zil and cache compared to BTRFS and LVM equivalent setups.

wtf does that even mean? ZFS ran on linux both before and after draid was introduced.

[Nocifer]

what do you mean by "linux equivalent"? Testing zfs vs md? If yes what filesystem on md? btrfs? And ZFS runs well on linux, so I simply don't get it. Perhaps you meant testing ZFS on linux vs ZFS on some BSD system? If yes, there are numerous benchmarks like that available, but granted, likely not up to date.

Considering ZFS is technically not a Linux-native filesystem (even though this is due to licensing issues rather than the technology itself) the Linux equivalent the OP had in mind would probably be btrfs.

I would be happy if "everyone was brought in" when he picks what to benchmarks vs zfs features. (zfs, zfs+draid, lvm, mdraid, btrfs... )
