actually, my personal benchmarks and multiple accounts in internet say it is much slower than btrfs under the load.

For smaller disk setups possibly but with large enough scale ZFS ends up beating out btrfs.

  • I test on 2TB datasets. Do you have any specific pointers which would support your claim?

    • I have 100+TB datasets and with a large enough SSD/RAM for L1/L2 arc ZFS edges out.

      Hell even the compression algorithm that ZFS has uses/has access to (LZ4) is faster than what btrfs uses and with enough IO that matters.
