    Phoronix: OpenZFS 2.1.1 Arrives As A Big Point Release

    Following the big OpenZFS 2.1 release from July that brought Distributed SPARE RAID, a compatibility property for pools, and other new features, OpenZFS 2.1.1 is available today as a follow-up release for this open-source ZFS file-system implementation for Linux and FreeBSD systems...

      Just fine. I'm on a slightly older version than this, git from about a week ago (gonna update to stable tonight), and everything has been safe and sound for over half a decade now. My main storage pool has gone through multiple PCs, from a single disk to a mirror, the original disk in a drawer, I've used it on multiple Linux distributions and Windows with WSL2, and it's always been reliable for me.

      Since I'm using Arch I occasionally run into the issue where the kernel updates faster than ZFS, but it's easy enough to keep LTS installed or to switch over to -git packages for a bit. IMHO, that's about the biggest issue ZOL has - bleeding edge distribution kernel updates. You have to keep on top of that if you use linux-stable and you're not on Ubuntu, Cent, or something like that; especially so if you're using bleeding edge with a ZFS root....or just use linux-lts if you don't want to keep on top of it.

        I've been running it for about a year on FreeBSD and Arch Linux. It is fast and stable. I've only had two minor issues:

        - L2ARC is not very effective unless you have lots of RAM - you need about 1/10 the size of the L2ARC device. If you want to use a 500GB SSD, you better have 50GB RAM.
        - Once on Linux I kept getting read errors for one file, and after rebooting I could read the file again. I believe this was due to a bit flip in non-ECC RAM.

        Both of these issues were my fault, for using hardware configurations that the ZFS team recommends against. Neither issue caused data loss.
