ZFS already has great support on Solaris and FreeBSD. If you're running linux check out http://zfsonlinux.org/ http://zfsonlinux.org/ - native kernel support that avoids the GPL incompatibility of Sun's zfs implementation (CDDL license).
- ksec 14y agoThere is also SmartOS as well.
- ominous_prime 14y agoThey don't avoid it; it's still CDDL, and it's still incompatible. This means that it can't be shipped within the kernel itself, so you have to build a module (which is marked as tainted) for your particular kernel. OpenAFS has this same issue BTW. http://zfsonlinux.org/faq.html#WhatAboutTheLicensingIssue http://zfsonlinux.org/faq.html#WhatAboutTheLicensingIssue
- __alexs 14y agoI think it might be more sane to run GNU user space on Solaris (e.g. Nexenta, OpenIndiana) if you want ZFS that badly.
