[kwlug-disc] Old Man Yells at ZFS (was: Docker Host Appliance)

[CrankyOldBugger]

See, I'm not as brave as most of the people in this chat.  I go with XFS,
which is default for RHEL (and I think Ubuntu as well).  And this is after
years of me refusing to leave ext4.  I only go with what I know will work,
and never mind the fancy features...
