Well first off, i dont believe anyone has ever prooved that an fuse filesystem on linux is inheritly much slower than the slowest filesystem on linux, in fact i believe this to be very far from the truth, and even if you are not able to squeeze the last bits of efficiency out, i doubt that its gonna be the cpu overhead that will kill your IO performance. ZFS-on-FUSE may not have all the features now, it may not ever get them, but its far from pointless, but whats even more pointless and silly, is you blindly acknowledging that you are uninformed and seeking information (which is okay enough), but at the same time calls stuff silly and unreal. > > As to uninformed, well, yes, I am uninformed; hence my request for you to > inform me.
