Yeah, I have actually frozen Minio at this older version in my stack, as "just files on disk" was the primary feature that drew me to it. I don't want my data locked into some custom format. I'd be willing to bet that ZFS will still be supported in 20 years, but I would not make the same bet about Minio. For the same reason, it looks like Garage is not an option for my use case.

I use this "just files on disk" feature too, I also use ZFS. I have a bunch of crawlers uploading data to AWS S3, but S3 is too expensive, I replaced S3 with MinIO. MinIO stores plain files on disk, which makes it a lot easier to access my data. I can read files without calling MinIO APIs, the speed is super fast. By the way, which old version are you using? I'm using RELEASE.2022-04-26T01-20-24Z
