I was planning to make my desktop a ZFS-only system.
But now that I got into details of how it's done (reading this guide) I started to think that it might degrade my performance. The reason is that it creates separate boot partitions and it's said that ZFS works best when dealing with whole drives because when it doesn't, it disables drives' caches.
Do I miss something?
If no, is the performance degradation something noteworthy? I haven't heard anybody talking about it.
