For the tower of babel that is linux mdadm&#x2F;lvm&#x2F;... I agree, but ZFS really is trivial to get running, and <i>easier</i> to use than multiple disks - rather than worrying about what I put on each drive, and manually doing backups, I ran a couple of ZFS admin commands three years ago that told it to put all the disks in a big raidz, then stopped worrying about it. When a disk fails I replace it and run one command, no messing around restoring from backup &#x2F; changing shortcuts &#x2F; reinstalling.
