    One device decided to be finicky and the biggest storage array is all on one system.

    It really sucks you can’t do HA with BTRFS. It is more reliable than ZFS due to licensing

        OpenZFS is not GPL compatible so it can never be baked into the kernel in the same way BTRFS can. I’ve run into issues where I’ve needed to downgrade the kernel but if I do the system won’t boot.

        Btrfs also doesn’t need any special software to work as it is completely native and baked in.
