As many of you may or may not know, I dabble in the <br>BSDs from time to time, and one of those more recent outcomes of that <br>dabbling was a FreeNAS server I set up about 2 years ago to support Time <br>Machine for macs as well as content for a Plex server.<br><div><br></div>I just sort of dove headlong into it, and didn't much background reading <br>on ZFS itself. Since I'm now thinking of getting more drives (but cannot <br>really afford them until maybe next year) and probably backing <br>up/reconfiguring, I thought I'd read about it, so I picked up the <br>FreeBSD Mastery: ZFS book and started reading it.<br><div><br></div>They give a bit more background on ZFS - I didn't realize that Snoracle <br>took it closed source after acquisition, and that what is commonly <br>called "ZFS" is probably really OpenZFS, and that Snoracle has their own <br>version now, different than what the rest of world calls ZFS.<br><div><br></div>Anyway, I got to wondering about the state of ZFS on Linux and see there <br>is a site: http://zfsonlinux.org/<br><div><br></div>Anyone here have any experience with it? Is ZFS poised to be a <br>mainstream thing on Linux, or is there something else more likely to <br>fill that role?<br>_______________________________________________<br>clue mailing list: clue@cluedenver.org<br>For information, account preferences, or to unsubscribe see:<br>http://cluedenver.org/mailman/listinfo/clue<br></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
