I am considering setting up a RAID array with mdadm/Linux RAID, and using the ZFS filesystem on the resulting device (ie. /dev/md0
). Many would suggest using ZFS to create the RAID array directly, however ZFS currently lacks the ability to expand an existing array (but apparently in the works!), whereas mdadm/Linux RAID does have the ability to do such. Would this setup work? Aside from not being able to use ZFS RAID, are there any other ZFS features that I would lose?
