Re: OpenZFS – add disks to existing RAIDZ
#2"This feature allows disks to be added one at a time to a RAID-Z group, expanding its capacity incrementally. This feature is especially useful for small pools (typically with only one RAID-Z group), where there isn't sufficient hardware to add capacity by adding a whole new RAID-Z group (typically doubling the number of disks)."
A feature I am excited to see is being added!

#3Wow, I've been hearing this has been in the works for a while. I am glad to see it released! My RAIDZ array awaits new disks!

#4It bothers me so much that zfs is not into mainline linux. I know it’s due to the license incompatibility… :(

Same. Maybe one day. Though I don’t know what will happen first: it gets mainlined into the kernel or we get HL3

What do you mean by released? It hasn't even been merged yet. :)

#7The big news here seems to be that iXsystems (the company behind FreeNAS/TrueNAS) is sponsoring this work now. This PR supersedes ones that was opened back in 2021

We may get a successor filesystem before that particular situation is sorted out..
By all accounts mainline is at best not interested, if not actively against ZFS on Linux. The last few kerfuffles around symbols used by the out-of-tree module laid out the position rather unambiguously.

So long as the kernel developers are actively hostile to ZFS…
You will take your Btrfs and you will like it.

I’m holding out for bcachefs and still building ZFS via dkms on current kernels like a madman.
