Linux vs. FreeBSD: Uncovering the Truth Behind ZFS Performance

Discover the surprising performance differences between Linux and FreeBSD running ZFS in this in-depth analysis. We dive into benchmarking with iozone3, dd, and custom tests to uncover why FreeBSD outshines Linux in raw I/O but struggles with application-level writes like FWrite. Explore the impact of kernel optimizations, libc behavior, and ZFS tuning on performance. Whether you’re a system admin, developer, or tech enthusiast, this video reveals key insights into mastering ZFS on both platforms.
