Redhat is supposed to support it with version 7. I believe Oracle already supports it.
iirc Suse isn't supporting all the features yet, such as compression.
I really tried to go zfs for enterprise nfs at work and have decided to wait until Redhat 7 and btrfs. various problems with solaris and x86 hardware from hp while not getting the support iI needed internally to do zfs for linux. btrfs still has catch up to do. Last iI heard data De duplication isn't sted yet. No block level send/receive like zfs, btrfs send/receive is different.
sorry for typos typed on my phone
- laumars 14y agoI run ZFS on FreeBSD (have done for a few years now) and quite frankly I think it's a seriously overlooked alternative.
- Erwin 14y ago"Alternative" is an understatement. ZFS's block-level deduping and compression are great and they were here years ago. It's disappointing the licensing problems cannot be solved -- great as it is, I cannot really use it until it's a supported part of RHEL.
- bsg75 14y agoI know it is not the same as a supported module, but zfsonlinux.org has been reliable for me on a CentOS 6 dev box. Of course as an RC, I would not deploy it in production, but I have high hopes.
