Phoronix: OpenZFS 2.3 Released With RAIDZ Expansion, Fast Dedup, Direct I/O & Other Great Improvements

OpenZFS 2.3 is out as stable this evening as the latest major feature release to this open-source ZFS file-system implementation used on Linux and FreeBSD systems. OpenZFS 2.3 is heavy on new features...

really happy about the support for longer file names. the limits for most things in zfs are so large as to essentially be limitless and ignorable but i ran into the file name limit multiple times over the years.

It's pretty impressive how ZFS practically solved storage 20 years ago and there is still nothing that comes close to how featured and resilient it is.

And RAIDZ expansion goes to great lenghts to alleviate on of the cons of ZFS when compared to other filesystems like Btrfs.

Anyways, if you need resilient storage you can't go wrong with ZFS.

ZFS continuing to be the #1 filesystem in every respect

Some of the (chief) scientists/engineers at Sun (a few of which I had the honor to meet in person), were "big thinkers". If those people had been able (and funded) to continue "thinking big" we would be better off today.

Sweet. Will definitely play with with some RAID 0 pools using Direct I/O soon.

Sun made a lot of cool shit. Too bad most of it went by the wayside after the acquisition.

We would also be better off today if CDDL was more permissive. ZFS would be the default filesystem for Linux and macOS if that was the case (I know Linux doesn't have a default filesystem, but you know what I mean).

Direct IO is a massive win for NVME performance

Personally I find it hard to use ZFS due to out-of-tree kernel modules which require specific kernel version that is often many months behind

BTRFS and XFS are the only sensible solutions if you want to stay up to date
