Technically, as long as Oracle keeps supplying the source code for versions of ZFS above v28 (no matter how long it takes, i.e. maybe after releasing Solaris 11 (?)) under the CDDL, we should have no problems using that code in FreeBSD. Just note that FreeBSD is not yet at ZFS v28, though it seems there's a patch for that [*], and we can hope to see it integrated when it is ready. As a matter of taste, you're free to use whatever file system you like. > Many thanks, > Alejandro Imass [*] http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-August/019541.html Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
