I first came in contact with it through solaris, and looking back at that stack with zfs, zones & software defined networking it just seems like such a contemporary fit. Recently I’ve looked a bit at smartos and joyents offering that kind of takes it the way I thought it would take, back in the day, pre-oracle.
Been using ZoL for years now, both for private filers but also professionally as of late for things like physical docker/container hosts.
Just rock solid!
