Whats is the status of ZFS on ClearOS?
I'm thinking of using SnapRAID for my media collection and I like to use ZFS for all other stuff. I know there is a testing repo for some time also it's mentioned in the forums.
I have some empty 6TB drives to test., Is it possible to test with non important data?

Hello All.
I have been using ClearOs since v 5
I virtualized with proxmox before the clearvm was available. I did try to use clearvm 2 years ago when I was doing a bare metal version upgrade of proxmox. However the image wouldn't boot my hardware and I stayed with proxmox and even subscribed to their updates. I did adopt ZFS for the storage and root file system of proxmox hence my interest in this thread. The main reason I use zfs is the send and receive feature along with snapshots I use for my backup strategy. It allows me to have a carbon copy of my business server ready to go, updated in one minute intervals. Each virtual disk/vm is on a zvol that can then be booted on the backup server. I do not see much benefit to supporting zfs on clearos because in a virtual machine we will be mostly using one disk or NAS. I would think clearvm would benefit from the zfs feature set. -

For the time being ClearCenter does not support ZFS on ClearOS. The repositories are removed. See this reply of Dave -

Hi Dave,
I'm back after a Synology/Ubiquiti outing. At the moment I'm not completely sure about my setup (virtualise) but ClearOS stays definitely. Besides that I have some hardware to test bare metal. Let the testing begin!!!
Maybe more people getting enthusiast by reading this forum thread.

For the most part, it still is in testing. Where we have used it in production, we have the automatic updates turned off since there is not a community of testers yet that are willing to test upcoming updates. If you are willing to test the updates we can start forming a community base for these really, really useful packages.
Our engineers that have used it have shown that some updates which come from upstream are not stable. It would be bad to have a volume fail which is why we have not gone mainstream yet. But the only thing stopping us is a lot of testing and community involvement. -
