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?"

    Google now has an ad for the google toolbar when you visit google.com in IE.

    Very distasteful.

    Yes, they chose to use a better graphics library than X11, and a better (also open-source!) filesystem than ext3 -- and good riddance on both counts, I say. Why all the hostility?

    Typical: when someone points out that Apple keeps pursuing proprietary solutions and when someone disagrees with your view that Apple has the best of everything, you call them "hostile". It's you who is hostile, not me.
