    Thatâ(TM)s what ZFS was made for. Again no one forces you to run an OS that is seriously lacking in the file system department. You have options!

  4. I hear you, I had to wait over 2 years for an install. *Two years* in KC as well. I would call every six months and hear the same excuse. "Crushed conduit" waiting to be repaired. It was laughable. It does not take 2 years to replace a crushed conduit. Seriously as much as I hate cable companies if I had someone take a backhoe to fiber that my cable net connection was on it would NOT take them 2 years to fix it. At most a few days. So i feel your pain. I think google is a tire fire of a company. Their products suck. They have become incompetently large like MS. They just can't focus or refine anything. It's just random slop thrown at a wall to see what sticks.

  5. Re:Google is not the saviour of mankind on Kansas City Was First To Embrace Google Fiber, Now Its Broadband Future Is 'TBD' (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I concur with this. Google may have smart folks, but their implementations SUCKS. IMO android is a tire fire compared to iOS, we live here in KC and have google fiber + tv. And the TV part is an absolute abortion. Rather than embed the software IN the end users device they insist it be run from the cloud. Guess what? That is a horrible idea. The UI is slow, jerky, you can't FF or RW through commercials on recorded! shows and movies, but if you pause TV for 30 minutes you can use that as a buffer to FF through commercials. Consistency FTW! The UI because it is cloud based becomes unresponsive resorting to having to reboot the TV and Network box to get it to work. It's just a horrible UI and app. I am not impressed with google, at all. I see google being replaced at some point because they simply can't make a product that isn't a mess. They create tons of services and apps and kill almost all of them once people start using them. Im just not a fan of google. I don't know what they are going to with the Fiber rollouts. They got special rights and leeway from the city of KC to roll this out and now they cant get it done. For whatever reason. Someone needs to start doing some high speed wireless pop's all over the city. I don't think anything but wireless has a shot in hell because of all the laws and regulations restricting laying fiber that have been built up over the decades.

He wasn't a quack or killing people telling them to eat bacon and meat. It's the food industry that is killing people with carbs, carbs and more carbs, topped with sugar and more carbs.

    This is quite possibly the most ignorant comment in this entire thread. ZFS is dead? What are you smoking? It's in illumos and FreeBSD. Which is the base for many many of the largest storage v noses on earth. Emc, nexenta, spectra logic. Your idea that zfs is dead should be completely ignored as ignorant.

    I just recently got google fiber + TV. Their onscreen guide and app is a tire fire. Its low resolution, its slow, buggy, lacks a ton of features the sat. providers and apple have, and support is a complete joke. Waiting 2+ years to drag fiber 50 feet to your house to get you hooked up? When service goes out taking 2, 3, 4+ weeks to restore service. Google, your rollout, support and commitment is OBSCENE.

    That doesn't organize your data. That just dumps in one pile. How do you *find* anything is the problem. The best app I have found to do this is called NeoFinder. It allows you to organize all your files in one application, tag them with metadata, create thumbnails of common formats and the best part of it is it allows you to store the applications library data file ON the server. It's the only app that allows you to do this, everyone else forces you to store it client side. Bundle this with a ZFS server and Samba and you are golden! It runs on OS X and Windows. It's not open source but I don't care because every other OS "solution" to managing/organizing/tagging files is utter fucking trash at best and a tire fire at worst.

    Seriously, if you are not running BSD with ZFS by *now* you are hopelessly ignorant and/or just a glutton for PAIN. These stories just make me wonder who these people are? I come from the times when all we had was UFS and dump/restore, tar, and let me tell you it was PAIN! Managing data on UFS, backups, expanding partitions, was fun#$ing pain on a level you cannot understand. Now? Now we have ZFS, we have stopped pooping in our water. Best solution is get all that data copied to a ZFS stripped mirror pool pronto. Create another small box with another striped pool and zfs send/receive from one to the other. Create snapshots on the main box every 5 minutes. They cost nothing. And there are a ton of scripts out there to automate this and manage creation/deletion of snapshots. Storing data on anything but ZFS today should be punishable by death.
