As a mere operator, I've been fascinated by ZFS ever since I first heard of it 15+ years ago. It seems so elegant, like it really is the last generalist filesystem one would ever need. Performant, reliable, fundamentals easy to comprehend. I've never tried managing LVM configs because zpools and raidz are just so damned easy. Native encryption. Datasets can be as simple or as complicated as you need them to be. send/recv dataset syncing at the block level vs having to decrypt and sync files individually.
A lot of this goes over my head as someone who isn't familiar with filesystem internals, but I appreciate the effort and the homage to a great tool.
