What I find funny is what Bryan C. Noted. How funny is it that desktop people are hijacking a server OS?!

Thatâ(TM)s what ZFS was made for. Again no one forces you to run an OS that is seriously lacking in the file system department. You have options!

The BSDâ(TM)s and Illumos. There is no reason to use the tire fire that is Linux. You have options!

I hear you, I had to wait over 2 years for an install. *Two years* in KC as well. I would call every six months and hear the same excuse. "Crushed conduit" waiting to be repaired. It was laughable. It does not take 2 years to replace a crushed conduit. Seriously as much as I hate cable companies if I had someone take a backhoe to fiber that my cable net connection was on it would NOT take them 2 years to fix it. At most a few days. So i feel your pain. I think google is a tire fire of a company. Their products suck. They have become incompetently large like MS. They just can't focus or refine anything. It's just random slop thrown at a wall to see what sticks.

I concur with this. Google may have smart folks, but their implementations SUCKS. IMO android is a tire fire compared to iOS, we live here in KC and have google fiber + tv. And the TV part is an absolute abortion. Rather than embed the software IN the end users device they insist it be run from the cloud. Guess what? That is a horrible idea. The UI is slow, jerky, you can't FF or RW through commercials on recorded! shows and movies, but if you pause TV for 30 minutes you can use that as a buffer to FF through commercials. Consistency FTW! The UI because it is cloud based becomes unresponsive resorting to having to reboot the TV and Network box to get it to work. It's just a horrible UI and app. I am not impressed with google, at all. I see google being replaced at some point because they simply can't make a product that isn't a mess. They create tons of services and apps and kill almost all of them once people start using them. Im just not a fan of google. I don't know what they are going to with the Fiber rollouts. They got special rights and leeway from the city of KC to roll this out and now they cant get it done. For whatever reason. Someone needs to start doing some high speed wireless pop's all over the city. I don't think anything but wireless has a shot in hell because of all the laws and regulations restricting laying fiber that have been built up over the decades.

How much longer will it be before all the deniers start believing Atkins was correct? He knew this. His diet works, and it saves lives. He wasn't a quack or killing people telling them to eat bacon and meat. It's the food industry that is killing people with carbs, carbs and more carbs, topped with sugar and more carbs.

No really. Tarsnap.

The best solution is simply ZFS with encryption which is live now. Or VERY soon. Easy peasy. Everything is convoluted, difficult, and will end in tears.

Vendors. That was supposed to be vendors. Auto correct is the bane of forum threads!

How dare you mention btrfs and ZFS in the same breath. How dare you sir!

This is quite possibly the most ignorant comment in this entire thread. ZFS is dead? What are you smoking? It's in illumos and FreeBSD. Which is the base for many many of the largest storage v noses on earth. Emc, nexenta, spectra logic. Your idea that zfs is dead should be completely ignored as ignorant.

Stop using inferior solutions. FreeBSD and illumos use ZFS natively And have for many years.

Such a great idea its failed. Every. Single. Time.

The idea was STUPID and an epic design failure. Even Google scrapped their "modular" phone idea. Everyone who has their fingerprints on this should be fired and blacklisted from being hired ever again.

By your own definition then marriage has been a complete, total and epic failure. The divorce rate, single parent families, the rate of kids on heavy mood altering drugs from who knows how much childhood trauma from mom, dad or both.
