I'm reading up on ZFS, Solaris's new filesystem that has a level of RAID built in. You can read it too at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/whatis/ While reading the documents, I was really charmed by the features ZFS has incorporated, and was wondering if there was any effort within the FreeBSD community to port ZFS to FreeBSD (using GEOM would seem the most likely choice, so thats why I'm posting to this list.) Research on various mailing lists taught me that there is only a few mentions on the -hackers list in 2004, nothing else seems to pop up. Are there any plans or efforts to incorporate ZFS into FreeBSD, that you know of, or constructions with similar features? It would save me an install of OpenSolaris, plus the effort needed to learn the internals of yet another *NIX version :-) Greetings, Nils --------------enig85F27E4EB37AF7F6C372D358 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEDJYwMzNX/a06Wq0RAmOIAJ9ETQqArD7NPmd7IBZkuSt4l2gfmgCfQV/I uuKRHQHvkBSOzQNXz/eD3l0= =sS9D -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig85F27E4EB37AF7F6C372D358--
