ZFS Confirmed In Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard

Posted by timothy on from the if-you-need-to-have-an-OS-name-tattoo dept.

number655321 writes "Apple has confirmed the inclusion of ZFS in the forthcoming OS X Server Snow Leopard. From Apple's site: 'For business-critical server deployments, Snow Leopard Server adds read and write support for the high-performance, 128-bit ZFS file system, which includes advanced features such as storage pooling, data redundancy, automatic error correction, dynamic volume expansion, and snapshots.' CTO of Storage Technologies at Sun Microsystems, Jeff Bonwick, is hosting a discussion on his blog. What does this mean for the 'client' version of OS X Snow Leopard?"

    File systems that have HSM get extra brownie points. Why would a file system have High School Musical? Do you want it pre-pirated? :-).

    Lamer. 8 TB isn't enough to hold my collection of midget furry porn, let alone the whole shebang.

    You might want to try killing the talkoutofmyass daemon I do think it's using to many resources.

    Funny, I have more than 1 TB of talk coming out of my ass with no resource problems whatsoever. You might want to try killing your anecdotal daemon as I do think it's clouding your judgment.
