| mrz80 | Any thoughts pro or con about using ZFS on a music workstation? Performance is one thing, but ZFS seems to have a lot of magic data integrity pixie dust that my history of inopportune drive failures would really find desirable. | 12:55 |
|---|---|---|
| Eickmeyer | mrz80: I mean, it's fine, but I've seen benchmarks putting zfs performance below that of ext4 due to the copy-on-write. Also, don't mistake it for a backup, because people ar doing that and shooting themselves in the foot. | 14:46 |
| mrz80 | Eickmeyer: Ok, so maybe/mabye-not on the workstation. It's definitely going on the fileservers though. | 18:00 |
| mrz80 | 's been a long time since I looked at FS performance - xfs vs reiser vs ext3/4/whatever's current | 18:00 |
| Eickmeyer | mrz80: It's very beneficial on servers. | 18:01 |
| mrz80 | I'm still wondering if sticking with my FX8350 vs pissing of the wife and buying a Ryzen box is wise. After doing a painfully deep dive on the FX architecture I wonder if soem of my ongoing xrun problems might be stemming from the pairs of cores sharing resources aspect | 18:02 |
| Eickmeyer | Yeah, I wouldn't know, I'm for certain no architecture expert. | 18:02 |
| mrz80 | The FX was striving for cost and die-space savings by pairing up core ALUs with shared support logic. A similarly clocked 8 core Ryzen (which was grown for max performance rather than max economy) would blow the FX out of the water :D | 18:03 |
