Good to know, thanks for that.

Encryption is high on my list, as aside from raid/redundancy, but would really like to find a better way vs. md+luks+lvm+fs to do hardware+encryption+volume management.

I might try to reconstruct a device to do zfs, hoping it's more suitable for production than 2 years or so ago I tried it last.  Then encryption was brand new and arch couldn't deal with booting off it.

I have have been using ZFS raid for over a year on several servers Proxmox both spinning and ssd's and ssd L2arc with spinning disks after the learning curve I have nothing bad to say other than it does suck up ram
but worth the loss it is stable fault tolerant perfect what I do. easy to replace or add drives. I have not used encryption --- yet

Anyone actually using zfs on linux out there?  Ala something like this ideally?

When last I installed arch, there was a limit in the kernel that couldn't boot zfs for some reason, but otherwise tried it and liked what I saw.  I'm more interested in encryption+boot if possible, but don't know anyone using zfs for anything real yet.

I'd like to replace my md+luks+lvm setup with something that can do all native for raid+encryption+dynamic volumes, just would love to see someone else doing so already.
