Comment Re:ZFS on a virtual machine, using Hyper-V (Score 1) 359

Not having windows in the picture makes things simpler.
ZFS is way better than RAID for everything except useability - but its a first class citizen on linux now, so there are tutorials about.
Ubuntu LTS Desktop or Server have the most support for ZFS I've seen, so I use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop as a VM, mainly as I don't want to buy another *ECC RAM workstation type machine in addition to my Windows one, and zfs support on windows is minimal

*Useful, not essential for ZFS

Comment ZFS on a virtual machine, using Hyper-V (Score 1) 359

I haven't seen it in the comments, so here's another alternative - if this is also a working windows machine.

Get windows 10 pro so you can use Hyper-V. Run ZFS in a linux virtual machine (pass through the bare drives) - You then have a virtual server that you can run share with SMB, and have all those nice linux server type programs only a window away.

i.e. You are running a better disk safety software than RAID, which is not (easily) done on Windows. You can back up the VM (which you don't install on the ZFS array) as data files, and the contents of the SMB share from within windows.

Shakespare (as always) says it best

            "Cowards die many times before their deaths;
            The valiant never taste of death but once.
            Of all the wonders that I yet have heard.
            It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
            Seeing that death, a necessary end,
            Will come when it will come"

My own view is that "religious" people have an impossible role model (god/diety/whatever) to match up to that they can never satisfy, so fear death and judgement.
Personally I think the whole concept of religion dates back to having a pack leader to look up to, something I hope we will eventually outgrow. And yes, I'm afraid that does mean I'm saying religious people are stupider in general, and have sold reasoning, intellect and humanity's aspirations for "certainty".
