- I can easily create new subvolumes (filesystems or block devices), for different mount points, containers, other distributions, VM disks...
- The free space is shared between all of them, no need to anticipate a partitioning layout
- I have a service that automatically snapshots some of them, others not
- I love the ZFS tools, I'm very happy to use them on all my machines
- I use NixOS everywhere and so it's also easier to share the same conf on all my machines
- I can send volumes easily from one machine to the other (zfs send)
I probably miss other things, but I also love consistency ;)
