I am looking to use TrueNAS core for a home server that houses important documents I can't afford to lose and I would be backing that up to another server offsite using zfs replication. I like the nice gui and freebsd plays nice with the zfs license. Also now, it uses openzfs. I used Ubuntu LTS w/ ZFS previously.
My question is, how conversative is TrueNAS core when updating? For instance I noticed the current release is using what I consider a fairly new version of ZFS 2.1.11-1. This version appears to be only have been released in the past few months and it itself had a fix in for a data corruption bug. For instance currently the newest ubuntu lts uses ZFS version 2.1.5 a year old.
What is there patch cadence? Do they wait some time before making newly versions of ZFS available? Should I consider the 13.05u4 version or would that be a mistake? Do they continue to maintain 13.05u4 as well as u5?
What would the community suggest to not expose critical data to the chance of corruption bugs? I would prefer the version installed has been in the wild for sometime.
Thanks for the advice!
zfs-2.1.11
