> Linus should avoid authoritative statements about projects he's unfamiliar with.
I'd side with the author here since he's shown to have experience and researched his points with using ZFS here and is quite frankly clear around explaining the background of ZFS enough to disqualify Linus's arguments for telling those who agree with him "Don't use ZFS".
I may have not gone as far as the author to do the benchmarks themselves, but the most misunderstood claim that Linus clearly went off the rails on what the claim about ZFS being unmaintained. As a part time Linux/BSD user, using Linus's own ranting language: This is complete B___S___.
When talking about "The" Linux kernel (no distros), Linus has his merits and his most excellent and decorated highness is respected by software engineers worldwide for the kernel. But as soon as he gets involved with topics which he has done little research and a clear lack of understanding, then the real experts will notice.
