Zfs and snapshots

Team

i may be asking silly question but does petasan or any ceph systems offer to use zfs and the snapshotting features I am used to in truenas? I don’t see it anywhere so I assume not , I have over 300tb of storage on about 10 truenas units but would love to use a node failure resilient product. I have been looking into using 45 drives hardware and petasan but need this functionality

 

thanks cloud51

No, there are some limited use of ZFS with Ceph when running under FreeBSD, used for creating OSDs

I do not see how ZFS snapshots could be applied as this is distributed storage system and snapshots need to be co-ordinated in a distributed way across nodes.

You may be better served by products like Napp-it (https://napp-it.org/index_en.html) or Nexenta (https://nexenta.com/products/nexentastor) which offer Highly Available ZFS NAS solutions.

Cheers
