Storage Solutions & Their Use Cases

• zfs

  721 10,140 9.7 C

  OpenZFS on Linux and FreeBSD

  

One example that keeps popping up over the years is containers and ZFS or more specifically Linux kernel namespaces and ZFS. First LXD in 2016, podman in 2020 and 2021. There is docker issues in the past as well with the ZFS storage driver or overlayfs. These issues are fixed rather quickly by ZFS (because they are very good at what they do) or by upstream, but bugs keep happening. It is something I do not want to deal with. As I expect future problems with ZFS and projects that depend on specific features of the linux kernel, I prefer using something else. In this case Stratis, LVM and XFS, or LVM and ext4.

• podman

  Podman: A tool for managing OCI containers and pods.
