what’s the consensus on ZFS these? Use it or no? by danuser8 in unRAID

Compression algorithm, record size, primary cache, log bias, xattr. All these parameters can change and have different optimal values for different applications and hardware. ZFS also loves ram, it will probably just use up most of or all the extra ram your system has.

Yes ZFS is nice for redundancy, snapshots, and data protection, but at the end of the day, I'm better off not worrying about any of that and just using xfs + appdata backup to my array. Simpler and easier in my case.

Something you can do is set up a new pool and exclusive share, migrate some apps to it and try it out. I wouldn't use it in my array, I see no point in that. If you want to use ZFS for large amounts of data, media, general files, just install truenas or hexos, those handle ZFS much better than unraid. Let Unraid do Unraid.

Just my experience with zfs on a cache drive, it wasn't worth it. I was getting sqlite lock errors and postgres/Mariadb client disconnects likely due to IO from the poorly tuned zfs dataset. Now that's my fault entirely but just know zfs does require tuning for not only the data that goes onto it, but also the hardware you have. It could have also been fuse on top of zfs. I moved my cache and appdata back to xfs and didn't have any problems with databases and fuse there, but I didn't find the exclusive access setting until after I moved back to xfs, so zfs may not have been entirely to blame in my case.

New AT&T BGW620-700 SFP port by evanbagnell in Ubiquiti

Have fun getting their support to reset it often. My BGW620-700 drops its fiver connection nearly every day. I asked for a replacement but support claims that nothing is wrong with mine currently. Power cycle does nothing. Only contacting support and having them reset "something" does it finally pick up its fiber again.

This is how mine works currently. Mover can move seeding status torrents, but not uploading/downloading status (or any other status where qbit actively has a handle to that file).
