Running ZFS Natively On Linux Slower Than Btrfs

Posted by kdawson on Monday November 22, 2010 @03:56AM from the early-days dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It's been known that ZFS is coming to Linux in the form of a native kernel module done by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and KQ Infotech. The ZFS module is still in closed testing on KQ infotech's side (but LLNL's ZFS code is publicly available), and now Phoronix has tried out the ZFS file-system on Linux and carried out some tests. ZFS on Linux via this native module is much faster than using ZFS-FUSE, but the Solaris file-system in most areas is not nearly as fast as EXT4, Btrfs, or XFS."

I'm going to answer your question with a question.
What exactly is it you care about?
Since ext4 meets 'your' needs - why continue developeing anything. Close up shop, we're done here...

If you need to ask most likely you would not care about them.
Mentioning on the same breath ZFS and Ext4 says it all about your expertise on this field really.
