Most of the ufs design decisions were because that's what hardware could do.
ZFS came from a company that sold Big Expensive Hardware.

@mwl@io.mwl.io @mdione@en.osm.town @grumpybozo@toad.social @djfiander@code4lib.social @b0rk@social.jvns.ca I reiterate that scrub *does not* do what fsck does. It *only* checks block checksums. It does not check for semantic errors in the on-disk data structures. This is a design error and an unforgivable act of hubris by the ZFS developers. (1/2)

@mwl@io.mwl.io @mdione@en.osm.town @grumpybozo@toad.social @zwol@masto.hackers.town @djfiander@code4lib.social @b0rk@social.jvns.ca i've always looked at zfs as a reaction to veritas' stuff. everyone i knew who had big sun boxes also ran veritas vm and fs. sun wanted to eat their lunch.
