ZFS

Infra & Ops På svenska → Updated: 2026-05-23

The most capable filesystem freely available — copy-on-write, snapshots, compression, RAID built in.

Created by Sun (2005) for Solaris, today on FreeBSD, TrueNAS and Linux (via OpenZFS). Good for: large storage pools, NAS servers, databases. Uses more RAM than ext4/btrfs but gives bit-rot protection and reliability.
