Raid is a method to build an array from several disks with redundancy, ex a mirror. This allows a disk to fail completely without dataloss. Redundancy is the important item. With single disks and ZFS you can set copies=2 what means that every...

For local long term storage with disks: - allow disks to fail without dataloss (Raid) - allow bitrot (ZFS with regular scrubs at least once or twice a year to repair detected bitrot due checksums on data and metadata) - allow the array to fail...

OpenSolaris, the source of Illumos was developped together, I would say around ZFS. This deep integration makes it very resource efficient. The point here is that Illumos/OmniOS is compatible (you can move pools) with Open-ZFS beside some...

https://omnios.org/releasenotes.html Unlike Oracle Solaris with native ZFS, OmniOS stable is compatible with Open-ZFS but with its own dedicated software repositories per stable/lts release. This means that a simple 'pkg update' gives the newest...

How much RAM do I need for napp-it cs RAM for a ZFS filer has no relation to pool or storage size (beside dedup)! Calculate 2 GB for a 64bit OS, add 1-2 GB for a Solaris based filer and 3-4 GB for a BSD/Linux/OSX/Windows based filer for minimal...

The flavours of ZFS native ZFS in Solaris 11. This is the Unix where ZFS was developped for. The most resource efficient and stable ZFS and propably the fastest one. In 20 years I have not seen as many bug reports up to dataloss than on...

You can`t just give away a file on an USB stick to anyone like you can with *Fat* but that is not the point and for such I use a cloud link now. All of my systems have ZFS so I can just plug an external USB disk (can be 20TB) ex to my Mac, Linux/...

There are use cases where you still need a *Fat* variant and a data loss or undetected bad file is not relevant. There are use cases where data security is the main concern like a secure data move via stick or backup via checksum protected zfs...

ok, but then say - no to checksums (no report on bad files) - no to Copy on Write (undamaged filesystems after a crash/remove during write) - no to transparent compress - no to transparent encryption - no to autorepair files on bad blocks with...

A napp-it replication uses dedicated snaps (*_repli.._nr_n) and protects them from autosnap so normally you should have a common base snap. If not you cannot sync them again. Rsync can sync files but not make filesystems exact identical...
