FUSE: NTFS vs ZFS?

Question

ZFS

Recommend a file system.
There is a home server, he lived for some time under FreeBSD and I was completely happy with ZFS.
I have never met a more convenient and reliable FS, and I don’t particularly worry about it on hards.
But for a number of reasons, the OS is being replaced by Linux.
There are no issues with the working and system partitions. It will have its own FS, but what about a disk with imperishable?
I want maximum confidence in the safety of data and the possibility of recovering it. The speed of work is not critical, because. the disk will mainly work for reading and sometimes for writing (photos and other man-made things will merge there, which cannot be found in tyrnets).
Waiting for a stable btrfs to choose from while there is NTFS or ZFS:
NTFS because in almost any scenario, data from it can be recovered even if the screw has a falling shit of sectors turned into bads. There is such an experience and I am not afraid of it.
ZFS is familiar, convenient, drop dead flexible and reliable. But I don’t know if this is true under linux, and in case of a fall, I can’t vouch for myself, although I don’t expect this even under FUSE.
The option with FreeBSD under KVM is considered, but it is interesting how then it is better to access the FS with the least overhead. NFS or is there a better way?
Which option is faster and more reliable: FUSE or KVM + something?
Who has experience with ZFS under penguin? Share!
I’ll make a reservation in advance:
GNU / kFreeBSD - it doesn’t roll, it would be good to have a fresh kernel, I would leave it free;)
Ext - not considered, because fell and carried data into oblivion so many times that even in hell it is not enough for her to burn. And it would be nice if there would be as rich a toolkit for recovery as for ntfs / fat, but no!
If someone thinks that I have not heard the word backup, then it is better to think silently. The question is not about that.
Maybe someone recently compared the speed of ZFS and NTFS under Linux? And it will be a shame to observe 3Mb / s in a gigabit home grid. This old test is no longer interesting to anyone.
So what will the collective mind advise? Who will share the experience? Maybe there are worthy alternatives?

Answer 1

NTFS because in almost any scenario, data from it can be recovered even if the screw has a jammed spindle and a lot of sectors turned into bads.
Ext - not considered, because crashed and wiped data into oblivion so many times, the
thin troll is thin
at the core of your question: if you can dedicate one controller to the guest OS, this will positively affect the performance of disk operations in the guest, almost bringing it to the level of 100% compared to working without a hypervisor (Somewhere there were benchmarks from ibm, but I can’t find it right now). ntfs on Linux slows down and loads the processor. very tangible.

Answer 2

Given the choice between FUSE-NTFS and FUSE-ZFS, I would choose ZFS. NTFS is implemented by reverse, so reliability is questionable there (there were no problems, but still). In general, in vain you are so opposed to ext, ext4 is very stable. And if anything - there is a photorec. In your case, if the write speed is not critical, you can mount it with sync,dirsync,commit=1.

Answer 3

Then it's easier not to take a steam bath and use NTFS, although the option with a virtual machine is also interesting, although strange. But it's probably better than FUSE-ZFS

Answer 4

I don't know why you don't try btrfs. I use it - everything is stable and fine.

Answer 5

Forgive me for not being on the topic of the question, but I would very much like to know, at least in general terms: why did you have to abandon FriBSD? I'm just planning a project for FriBSD myself. All of a sudden, I didn't learn something.
Thanks in advance and sorry again for the intrusion.

Answer 6

In total, in the course of the discussion, no final solution was found before the arrival of btrfs.
KVM + ZFS is accepted as a temporary one.
For this, I bow and solemnly swear to test ZFS under a penguin in all of the above options, which I will report on in Habré.
Firework!
