For what it's worth, I've had very good luck with zfs-on-linux on my 12.04 system. Multiple pools, largest is 20TB. Zero problems after a year of use. Switched from mdadm/xfs due to major data loss from corruption, and I don't plan on looking back.

That's very helpful, thank you. I'll give it a shot, although I remember this being a few versions behind the BSD version?

I have a NAS that uses mdadm now (it did save me when one disk went completely bust), but RAIDZ sounds even better.


Wikipedia has a decent comparison here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZFS#Comparisons looks like both the BSD and native Linux port are on version 28.
