The really interesting bit, at least for me, will be seeing what happens with btrfs now that Oracle has full access to ZFS. Will they continue development of btrfs? Will they port ZFS to Linux? Will they release ZFS as GPL? Will they borrow ideas from ZFS for btrfs and vice versa? What will this mean for the rest of the OSS world that is using ZFS? --=20 Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
