ZFS Shows Up in New Leopard Build

Posted by Hemos on

Udo Schmitz writes "As a follow-up to rumours from May this year, World of Apple has a screenshot showing Sun's Zettabyte File System in "the most recent Build of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard". Though I still wonder: If it is not meant to replace HFS+, could there be any other reasons to support ZFS?"

      Nah, Microsoft would never do anything like that... They are a respectable company that does not misrepresent their products.
