[geeks] SSD for MacBook Pro

[Patrick Giagnocavo]

The Proxmox distro comes with ZFS out of the box. Not sure how they manage that, but it does not install a ZFS boot partition, but you can create ZFS pools once you reboot after installation.

Niggles - you have to disable their "enterprise" repository and enable the "testing" aka open source repository for their special bits, by hand.

Cheers

Patrick

I've been running ZFS on Linux (http://zfsonlinux.org/) on three Linux
systems for a while now. One of which is a central logging server with
a respectable amount of writes per day (~50Gbytes).

I wouldn't say it's been problem free, but the problems have all been
down to integration with distribution upgrades. All solvable with a
re-install of the ZFS package and a 'zpool import ...' (and no data
loss).

You'll see more problems going ZFS-only (for boot+root), but of a
similar kind.
