It is the most recent version you can get. I don't think the importance of this status and future work prospects can be understated :) And with the community now seemingly basing on the last ON commit from OpenSolaris before they went closed, that leaves at least three OS's soon able to interop with ZFS at the same level: [Open]Solaris, IllumOS, FreeBSD... and perhaps even Linux. Sure, a lot featurewise [big chunks such as BP rewrite and crypto] still might depend on Oracle follow through and publishing its code after binary releases. Yet even without that, a possible common community branch would be a good thing. And somehow, with luck, maybe the future Oracle stuff will still make it into open ZFS and vice versa [1]. > The boot code is not updated at all, so booting off of ZFS doesn't > currently work. As always, it will in time I'm sure. Thank you! PS: I just dropped another gig of ram in a one gig box and haven't had a ZFS lockup or kernel out of ram process kill yet, sweet! i386 RELENG_8 GENERIC 20100726 # modified vm.kmem_size=650000000 # default vm.kmem_size_max: 335544320 vm.kvm_free: 62910464 vm.kvm_size: 1073737728 vfs.zfs.arc_max: 406250000 [1] "We will have a technology partner program to permit our industry partners full access to the in-development Solaris source code through the Oracle Technology Network (OTN).
