The person doing the work is specifically targeting Linux for this, but since we already have FUSE running on FreeBSD it seems like a pretty good way to at least get something working (assuming the SoC project completes). Jeff Bonwick's blog about it: http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/ bonwick?entry=zfs_on_fuse_linux ZFS on FUSE blog: http://zfs-on-fuse.blogspot.com/ ZFS on FUSE website/wiki: http://www.wizy.org/wiki/ZFS_on_FUSE I doubt that I'd be any help making the code work, but I certainly like to see this make to FreeBSD is possible. If there are other things that I can do to help then I'd be open to suggestions. -- Joseph Scott http://joseph.randomnetworks.com joseph@randomnetworks.com
