DEC850 : UFS or ZFS

[LeBleu]

Hi,
I need to reinstall my DEC850 and I wonder which file system is recommended?
It came with UFS, then ZFS support was added to opnsense.
Generic documentation is talking about ZFS, but what about  DEC850 specifically?
I mean, ZFS performance is very bad with nvme. DEC850 have a SSD so maybe performance will not be good.
Do you have some advice or performance benchmark for UFS ou ZFS on DEC850 ?

I mean, ZFS performance is very bad with nvme. DEC850 have a SSD so maybe performance will not be good.

What on earth gave you that idea? Do you know how many enterprise storage or virtualisation systems exist that run ZFS exclusively? And most of it on SSDs. I have a data center with roundabout one hundred servers, all SSD, all ZFS. Some SATA, some NVMe. No performance issues whatsoever.

Use ZFS. It's 2023.

Yep, ZFS. Since a year or so the factory hardware comes shipped with ZFS on root as well.
