- data integrity
- snapshots and zfs send/receive for backups
- good reporting of disk events
- does not incur an unacceptable speed penalty
- well documented, relatively simple method of disk replacement
- pools can be transferred between machines without specific
controller requirements
- flexibility of filesystems-on-pools
And because I have that experience at work, I am reasonably
happy to run it at home on the systems where it makes sense.
