What is the status of ZFS? I have been running Solaris for years only because ZFS is so incredibly good as fileserver for mid sized company and for personal us

- profquail 13y agoI'm no expert, but ZFS support on FreeBSD seems to be pretty solid (more or less on par with Solaris). FreeNAS seems to be quite popular and it's based on FreeBSD and ZFS. If you have a question about a specific ZFS feature, drop by the FreeBSD forums (http://forums.freebsd.org http://forums.freebsd.org) and ask; the FreeBSD community is generally quite friendly and I'm sure you'll get a good answer to your question. For general information about FreeBSD + ZFS, check out these links: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/filesystems-zfs.html http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/fi... https://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS https://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS
- hannibal5 13y agoThank you. FreeNAS seems good.
- drhowarddrfine 13y agoI'm not the one to ask but, on the FreeBSD forum, it's all that's talked about. That is, everyone is using it and there are a multitude of questions from people asking how to use it. From what I gather, it is every bit as good as Solaris or at least approaches it. Again, I'm a FreeBSD user but not the person who would know.
