Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Incremental backups / replication to non-ZFS destinations?
Z3 doesn't seem to be maintained. This script seems to be a oneoff. ZFSBackup Go seems more full featured but also unmaintained and out of date as well.

Welcome Z3 – ZFS to S3 Backup/Restore Tool
To add, i'm not so confident in future usability given it's python 2[0].

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is so buggy you can't install the OS [video]
Be careful if you use ZFS-on-root, make sure not to snapshot bpool or it will brick your system and require a complete reinstall.

Radxa's SATA HAT makes compact Pi 5 NAS
> The only non-junk PCIe3 option that's even advertised here recently is the overpriced WD Red SN700.
Those WD drives seem to have some real issues, at least with ZFS and btrfs. :(

IMO the "next fs" is just zfs. They somewhat recently merged RAIDZ expansion feature https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/pull/12225 and make regular improvements. If no file system has what you need today, zfs will probably be the first one to have it "tomorrow," imo.

A data corruption bug in OpenZFS?

> zpool get all tank | grep bclone
> kc3000 bcloneused 442M
> kc3000 bclonesaved 1.42G
> kc3000 bcloneratio 4.30x
> My understanding is this: If the result is 0 for both bcloneused and bclonesaved then it's safe to say that you don't have silent corruption.

Ask HN: What's your "it's not stupid if it works" story?
A couple years ago, I had an idea for convincing a filesystem to go faster using 2 compression steps instead of one. I couldn't see why it wouldn't work, and I also couldn't convince myself it should.
It seems to have worked out. [1]

ZFS Profiling on Arch Linux
https://github.com/openzfs/zfs/issues/7631
This is a long-standing issue with zvols which affects overall system stability, and has no real solution as of yet.
What are some alternatives?
zfsbackup-go - Backup ZFS snapshots to cloud storage such as Google, Amazon, Azure, etc. Built with the enterprise in mind.
zstd - Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm
zfs-to-aws
7-Zip-zstd - 7-Zip with support for Brotli, Fast-LZMA2, Lizard, LZ4, LZ5 and Zstandard
npbackup - A secure and efficient file backup solution that fits both system administrators (CLI) and end users (GUI)
sanoid - These are policy-driven snapshot management and replication tools which use OpenZFS for underlying next-gen storage. (Btrfs support plans are shelved unless and until btrfs becomes reliable.)
rclone - "rsync for cloud storage" - Google Drive, S3, Dropbox, Backblaze B2, One Drive, Swift, Hubic, Wasabi, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, Azure Files, Yandex Files
RocksDB - A library that provides an embeddable, persistent key-value store for fast storage.
zfs3backup - Backup zfs snapshots to S3.
snapper - Manage filesystem snapshots and allow undo of system modifications
borgtui - A nice TUI for BorgBackup
zfsbootmenu - ZFS Bootloader for root-on-ZFS systems with support for snapshots and native full disk encryption
