Probably not, see below.

That's exactly what I expected.
The two Raspi4s I own, have both a 64bit-Kernel, with a 32bit user-
space. Btrfs (and ZFS) is faster on a 64bit kernel.
Obviously this requires a newer clib to interface to the kernel.
Alas the build failed on an older Raspi3 with a 32bit-kernel.

Currently time is not exactly the problem.
I am just feed up with this bit fiddling shit,
in other words: Programming with Cuis/Haver is much more fun.

Especially because my Linux PC had
issues with one of its SSDs in its ZFS cluster.
Adding two spare SSDs just made the problem worse,
which leaves me clueless again. Maybe a PC with 11 hard-disks
isn't exactly a cool idea ;]

This problem, BTW, forced me to shelve the Windows laptop;
so no Window builds for the time being. (Ah and the Raspi 3)

Enough of my luxury problems!


Thanks for trying and Best Regards,

Gerald
