Apple Removes Nearly All Reference To ZFS

Roskolnikov writes "Apple has apparently decided that ZFS isn't really ready for prime time. We've been discussing Apple/ZFS rumors, denials, and sightings for some years now. Currently a search on Apple's site for ZFS yields only two hits, one of them probably an oversight in the ZFS-cleansing program and the other a reference to open source. Contrast this with an item from the Google cache regarding ZFS and Snow Leopard. Apple has done this kind of disappearing act in the past, but I was really hoping that this was one feature promise they would keep. I certainly hope this isn't the first foot in the grave for ZFS on OS X."

Re:Perhaps it will BE ZFS just not BE CALLED ZFS

o one really uses OSX Server for anything really mission critical that relies on it for the kind of storage capabilities ZFS would provide. Do they?

Just the iTunes store. Millions of people beat on it every day. However, the insane demands of simultaneously activating a gazillion new iPhones has brought the iTunes servers down with essentially a DDoS attack.
