| **ZFS** (the **Z**ettabyte **F**ile **S**ystem) is a high-performance, scalable file system and logical volume manager designed by Sun Microsystems which is now part of Oracle. It was originally developed for the Solaris operating system and it's the granddaddy of **COW** (**C**opy **O**n **W**rite) filesystems. ZFS has since been ported to other platforms, to include Linux and FreeBSD . Having been under constant development since its creation for Sun Solaris server, in 2001, ZFS is very mature. | **ZFS** (the **Z**ettabyte **F**ile **S**ystem) is a high-performance, scalable file system and logical volume manager designed by Sun Microsystems which is now part of Oracle.

| Removing non-proxmox kernels is recommended in that, when Openmediavault is updated, the remaining Debian kernels will be updated as well. These updates will also update the grub bootloader with unnecessary entries for the newer Debian Kernels. While rare, occasionally, grub/kernel updates do not go well. Issues with unused Debian Kernels and their grub updates can be prevented by removing non-proxmox kernels.\\ | Removing non-proxmox kernels is recommended in that, when Openmediavault is updated, the remaining but unused Debian kernels will be updated as well.
