ZFS on Linux data loss sparks small, swift upgrade
Maintainers of ZFS on Linux have hustled out a new version after the previous release caused data loss.
ZFS on Linux 0.7.7 only landed on March 21st, but as this GitHub thread titled “Unlistable and disappearing files”, users experienced “Data loss when copying a directory with large-ish number of files.”
The bug meant that attempts copies produced errors that claimed the filesystem was full and resulted in files just not arriving at their intended destinations.
Users verified the problem under a few Linuxes and quickly debated whether to roll back or wait for relief.
