It may be helpful to know that the former r/zfs community has migrated to a Discourse server at practicalzfs.com. Might be worth asking there for some expert advice.

I tried posting there, but the mods haven’t been there in a couple of days to approve my post. I tried posting on reddit but since reddit is a garbage website that noone should ever visit, I was immediately shadowbanned and noone has seen my posts.

Thanks for your post.
