[12:55] <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. 
[14:46] <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.
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <Eickmeyer> mrz80: It's very beneficial on servers.
[18:02] <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.
[18:03] <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
