I can't argue there :) Plus you get the awesome ZFS Time Slider. Might be a while before you see that in opensuse...

How network-transparent is the timeslider? Does it work with NFS-mounted homes (the NFS server using ZFS)? Is a configuration with 100 users making individual snapshots of their
homes really feasible?

I'm afraid I'm not in a good position to discuss the feature in detail. You might send your questions to [email protected].

Remember that with ZFS snapshots are (essentially) free. It's only when the content changes that any disk data changes occur. So it seems like this should scale pretty well, but that's just my novice observation and not based on experience. It will eat up storage over time, I'm sure, if you are aggressive about snapshots and not aggressive about reaping them.

Thanks,
