How do you mean? I trust OpenZFS more and in fact would consider it negligent if Oracle wasn't cherry picking OpenZFS bug fixes. Several original Sun engineers including ZFS co-founder Matt Ahrens are involved with OpenZFS.
- bcantrill 13y agoYes, as I have elaborated upon at length[1], the ZFS engineers have long-since left Oracle -- and the open community's ZFS (that is, OpenZFS) has become the ZFS of record. One clarification: Oracle can't actually cherry-pick back OpenZFS bug fixes because they are (ironically) violating the CDDL by not making available source code. This isn't an issue for the code for which they hold copyright -- but that doesn't include any of the bug fixes and features that we've seen in OpenZFS since 2010. And yes, it is absolutely negligent, but of a different sort than you intended... [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc
