That’s a good call out. I’ve never used ZFS on root. Been a ZFS user on Linux since the FUSE days but it has never seemed particular well suited (O_DIRECT support came late, ARC/page cache redundancy, etc). I can’t guarantee a consistent enough workload to optimize ZFS for and I don’t feel like it’s general purpose enough. Large object storage though? I’m sitting on a PB of ZFS.
