There is a reason older technology is used when reliability is key though.Good to know that the company behind things is working with a more modern OS, with a much larger user/dev/experience base, that supports more hardware. I find it strange that 12 year old servers are preferred over less than 5 year old consumer technologies like Ryzen and Realtek 2.5GB networking. I donated such a server because I couldn't have sold it if I wanted to.
Yes I'm serious, but I totally expect to be flamed hahahahaha. It's a meme thread, so it's all in good fun, right?
Ohhh. this is going to be framed and hung at the entrance!
A snapshot falls within the technical definition of a backup. SOOOOOOOO."Say a 'snapshot is a backup', again! Say it again! I dare you. I DOUBLE DARE YOU. Say a 'snapshot is a backup' one more time..."
True, but there's nothing about ZFS that makes this uniquely or especially so. If you care about your data, you should be using ECC regardless of the filesystem.since TrueNAS runs ZFS and only ZFS you don't want non ECC memory ;)

Actually ZFS's copy-on-write mechanism is one of the reasons this is more the case for ZFS then traditional systems. Further more arrays are managed in the systems memory, which isn't the case for hardware RAID for instance. Hardware RAID has dedicated memory.True, but there's nothing about ZFS that makes this uniquely or especially so. If you care about your data, you should be using ECC regardless of the filesystem.
Can we please not go down the endlessly-discussed topic of ECC memory?

If you tilt your head sideways, it does look like the bars of a jail cell.Oh, wrong logo... Damnit.
Old != bad. There are plenty of "old" things that are still in use today that is a testament to its robustness and maturity. C, for example, still powers virtually all "modern OS's" that you mentioned though Rust is starting to make more appearance. Also, supporting "more hardware" is subjective. BSD's (particularly NetBSD) tend to support more micro architectures than Linux.Good to know that the company behind things is working with a more modern OS, with a much larger user/dev/experience base, that supports more hardware.
