A good question, that really depends on how you use ZFS, if you are creating single disk zpools then the advantages over XFS are limited to compression and snapshots (i think), if you are using ZFS in a more traditional sense of multiple drives then things get more interesting and you can use the whole range of features included in ZFS - disclaimer i have extremely limited knowledge of ZFS so i am being vague on purpose, check out Spaceinvader One's videos on the subject for much better understanding.

yep, a lot has gone into release 6.12, i am going to give it 1 month since the last release then go for it, i might then give it a further 6 months and then switch filesystem for my cache drive to zfs.
i get what you are saying, but a picture does tell a thousand words, you just cant beat visual walkthrough vs a long list of instructions, the only downside with video walkthroughs is they can date quite quickly, whereas a written guide is much easier to keep up to date.
Spaceinvader does have a great gift of explaining detailed technical problems in a easy to understand and precise manner, big kudos to him.
Is that IOS or Android?
The latter, but if this is going global to lots of employees then why not go the whole hog and say 'For fucking fuck's sake' gives you a little more impact 😁
FUSE has always been slow, no big surprise here, and TBH I'm not overly concerned with lightning fast writes, I just want consistent read speeds, that's more important to me.
Ahh right I see, so you are using mover as a means of reducing power usage, that's interesting, power is super expensive where i live so that is a factor for me, i have spin down set reasonably tightly, but not insane, i think its 1 hour idle at the mo.
Well we are now at 100+ subscribers, that's kinda cool, I hope we make it to 1000, I think that maybe the tipping point as to whether this is sustainable.
Thanks for posting, i will be honest here, I haven't enabled mover in a VERY long time, I rely on the post processing of each app to move the media to the correct place on the array after download is complete, and for me this works well enough for me not to have to use mover, am I the odd one out here?.
I don't think it's possible to do an in place switch of filesystem, and even if you could would you trust it? I personally wouldn't.
I think the answer is as Ed says, horses for courses, it all depends on what you want to get out of a nas and the amount of time and effort you are willing to spend.
