I suspect the idea is to contribute the FreeBSD bits back to ZoL. My question is, how much of a base does ZoL really have? The enterprise pla= yers with any significant market share won't touch it -- Ubuntu has but IMO= they're a niche player (who has violated GPL by including CDDL in their ke= rnel. The next step should be throwing up a wiki page with a features todo list. = Also, this is a large enough project to have its own project branch, with t= he goal of having it in head before 13 goes GA. I also think people will no= t accept regressions or other POLA violations. --- Sent using a tiny phone keyboard. Apologies for any typos and autocorrect. Also, this old phone only supports top post.

I'm also worried if this would bring more Linuxish bits into our kernel (cf. LinuxKPI). Also, I thought that ZFS was never really native to Linux but implemented through SPL (Solaris Porting Layer), and Linux' VFS is not ARC-aware unlike Solaris and FreeBSD. It would be quite upsetting to see ZFS as we know it in FreeBSD become pessimized because of those things. :-( ./danfe _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
