cgd + zfs

2021-07-13 Thread Pouya Tafti
(Apologies in case this is not the right mailing list.) *tl;dr* Is it sensible to use zfs on top of cgd or are there drawbacks w.r.t. zfs expecting raw I/O? (Too many) details follow. I plan to re-purpose a circa 2012 Supermicro server for a cheap home NAS. It comes with an LSI MegaRAID
