Did they backport stuff like soft updates from UFS/FFS in FreeBSD?

I actually like UFS. I met the guy who wrote it (cannot remember his name off the top of my head). With soft updates, writes should be as fast as memory until you sync, at least in theory.

I’m okay with the speed, but I am hoping to one day have something like Hammer2 with compression, deduplication and snapshots. The lack of those features in UFS/FFS isn’t something that would make me move to another OS, tho.

That stuff is cool, but IMO: too much for something that isn't massive or dedicated mostly for storage purposes. UFS does have snapshots, though.

Maybe try FreeNAS on a separate box?

I haven't tried Dragonfly yet.
