would porting ZFS have been worthwile? I know the CDDL is likely considered toxic to have in the kernel but even in a FUSE way might be worthwhile here, no?

- sdadams 4y agoPorting ZFS to OpenBSD has been attempted before. See this blog post from 2013: https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/ZFS-on-OpenBSD https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/ZFS-on-OpenBSD
- gigatexal 4y agoAhh ok. Makes sense. Seems this was to include it in the kernel though. I wonder if I fully user space solution would have been doable? (Unlikely I guess)
- sdadams 4y agoThere is a FUSE implementation of ZFS for Linux but it is still in development. Porting it at this stage could be tricky.
