Thanks Joe! Why not, if I may ask? Even if not for its redundancy, it sounds to me like ZFS has so much to offer that using it anyways makes sense. If not ZFS on your laptops, which filesystem then?

Fair enough, thanks Jim.

The only scenario I was thinking and worrying about is this uptime hit happening while away/on travel for data on the single disk which are required to operate the laptop (OS or such). I'd imagine the resolution process in such situation to be quite stressful, but maybe not more so than in non-ZFS settings (which of course come with further downsides).

Hey Love the 2.5admins podcast!

Assuming that you all use ZFS on your laptops as well - do you buy laptops that offer multiple SSD slots (e.g., 2x NVMe or 1x NVMe + 1x SATA) so that you can set up mirrored vdevs?

Or do you run ZFS as a single-disk configuration on your laptops, e.g., because not enough suitable laptop options exist? If the latter, how do you handle the case that a corruption is detected on your single-disk ZFS?
