Episode 17 of The Linux Podcast: OpenZFS is not just a file system—it's a storage management paradigm that lets sysadmins do things no traditional Linux file system can. Lucas and Luna dive into OpenZFS's arcane but powerful features: copy-on-write snapshots that take seconds regardless of volume size, built-in RAID-Z that eliminates the need for hardware RAID, and instant incremental replication via 'zfs send / receive'. They also tackle why OpenZFS still isn't in the mainline kernel (CDDL license vs. GPL), and how projects like Proxmox and TrueNAS are adopting it anyway. The episode ends with a practical tip: how a single command can roll back a borked update if your root pool is on ZFS.
