With the release of ZFS 2.2, block cloning is now supported. This means that, along with ReFS and XFS, ZFS would be able to create synthetic fulls using fast clone if implemented.
Being able to use triple parity and/or distributed RAID would be a fantastic addition for petabyte scale repositories where traditional RAID is not feasible.
We're already using ZVOLs formated with XFS on ZFS and it works well enough, however there are significant performance limitations due to the necessity of read-modify-write that comes with a mismatched pool recordsize combined with the ZVOL block size. Bypassing the need for a ZVOL by having Veeam directly support the ZFS file system would solve this issue.
Hopefully this is considered. Thanks.
