FreeBSD supports ZFS v14, which lacks some of the features of ZFS on OpenSolaris, namely data deduplication. However, it is my understanding that porting later versions of ZFS to FreeBSD would require non trivial changes to the FreeBSD kernel, making it unlikely.
- shin_lao 16y agoI'm sorry but could you elaborate on "porting later versions of ZFS to FreeBSD would require non trivial changes to the FreeBSD kernel"?
- lol 16y agoHe's wrong. There's already work going on to port newer ZFS (w/deduplication) to FreeBSD. The biggest outlying question is if it will only be in 9, or if it might make it into 8.x.
