This is a really great looking service. I couldn't find a contact form that wasn't for sales inquiries, but I thought you might like to know that your website is extremely buggy on my phone (iPhone 5s, iOS 9.0.2, Mobile Safari).
This is the bug: Scrolling causes the page to reload. Not even joking. Seems to happen on all pages.
Anyway, I took a look on my desktop and it works fine there. I might even sign up a few of my clients. Just not with my phone.
Yes, I did that on my desktop, running Arch Linux.
In retrospect, it probably wasn't a very good idea because my / is on an SSD and ZFS on Linux doesn't support TRIM (I'll probably go with XFS if I ever reinstall), but it's totally doable.
Sure you can, Proxmox has distributed ZFS with it's custom Debian-based OS for over a year now.
ZFS comes pre-installed and the installer for Proxmox even gives you the options to install the OS directly onto a bootable zpool that is created automatically by the installer itself.
The thing I miss most in ZFS (aside from a native in-kernel linux port, as I've found ZoL to be kinda buggy) is to be able to grow zdevs. I can add a new zdev, I can remove them, but I can't add one disk to my 7-disk RAIDZ2. MD RAID has no problem with this.
Also, if you add zdevs later, you will never get full performance again as the striping will be off (putting more writes on the zdevs with more free space), and there's no 'rebalance' kind of thing (I've seen some scripts that just move stuff around, but I've never seen any evidence that they work, and I really doubt that they do based on my understanding of zdev allocation).
I'm assuming you mean vdevs — you can resize zvols (virtual block devices) just fine.
(and you can even grow disk-type vdevs, though they'll be somewhat unbalanced)
Me too. I've added so many drives in onesies and twosies to so many MD RAID5/6 arrays over the years that I simply can't confidently deploy ZFS for that case.
Both are to blame. Neither are to blame. Much of the success of Linux has been attributed to the GPL. It certainly had a role to play in opening up WRT firmware.
The truth is that the GPL is a pretty restrictive license. I don't think it's fair to blame anyone for the fact that it's not compatible with much. That's its defining feature and the main reason people choose it; so if it blocks ZoL, it's working as intended.
Which I consider a great loss. ZFS is fantastic.
I use the BSD 2-clause license on my own stuff, but I can think of situations where I'd rather use GPL.

Ha! Love it.

- Use it together with GPL-licensed software

Blame the GPL plague-like principle.
