Very interesting, thanks for the message. I might use it in my next Nas, but my workstation is staying on regular lvm, too much hassle to change probably…

Care to elaborate about these ZFS features?

A northern oida.

When German and Finnish merge…

Tja.

My github profile is under my real name, so no thanks. Won’t be giving my social security or credit card numbers either.

I assume you program in Javascript and haven’t written C code ever. SPARC doesn’t allow unaligned memory access to this day, no matter what parameters you throw to the compiler. If a program doesn’t process endianness won’t work correctly. s/online/inline/g. You didn’t even address 4 other arguments.

“if you can compile it, it will work” is just false.

It was implied in the discussion: “if you can compile it, it will work”.

There’s plenty of ARM processors before Cortex. There’s SPARC. And there’s a crapton of others with their quirks.

Just because you can compile a program from source, it doesn’t guarantee it will work. As mentioned: online assembly, memory alignment, but you can add endianness or questionable pointer arithmetic, not to mention dynamic runtime code generation. And I’m sure there’s 5 other reasons that I haven’t personally run into.

Yeah, in a perfect world everyone would write bug-free, platform-independent code, alas…

Nonaligned memory access can occur in C code. I’m not speaking about nextcloud, you mentioned "if you can compile it works (for any architecture) ", which is demonstrably false.

SIGILL

Cool, TIL!

You can change brakes, suspension, lights, pretty much everything without software locks. Only drive train is locked, which rarely fails and it does so progressively.
