I will be rebuilding my file server soon and I'm thinking of using ZFS this time instead of FreeBSD. I am currently using FreeBSD 10 (not FreeNAS or similar distros) and it's generally working fine.
I've been using FreeBSD since version 5 or 6 (it's been more than a decade for sure ) but trying out new things can be fun for me.
The big advantage I see of sticking to FreeBSD is the level of ZFS support that is available since it's built-in to the core. The advantage i see of using Linux is better package management (sure FreeBSD has ports but its package updates is bad).
I'm not really concern with write/read speeds as much since it's only for a home network. But I don't want atrocious speeds either.
Thanks very much for the reply
