I have been enjoying using ZFS, although it’s a not a killer filesystem for every scenario, I think it would be the best solution for you. also, you can try the “free consulting” on the 2.5 Admins podcast ([email protected]).

Neat. I’ll look at that, thanks!

thanks, I’ll look at it!

Usually I keep everything on Debian, but I’ve been thinking in making some changes, like running mint on my kids laptops. My rock64 is running armbian, due some problems with latest Debian on it and DietPi on an rpi3. Oh yeah, an rpi4 is running has, due to my absolutely laziness 😂
