OpenZFS Project Launches, Uniting ZFS Developers

Posted by Soulskill on from the putting-the-band-together dept.

Damek writes "The OpenZFS project launched today, the truly open source successor to the ZFS project. ZFS is an advanced filesystem in active development for over a decade. Recent development has continued in the open, and OpenZFS is the new formal name for this community of developers, users, and companies improving, using, and building on ZFS. Founded by members of the Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and illumos communities, including Matt Ahrens, one of the two original authors of ZFS, the OpenZFS community brings together over a hundred software developers from these platforms."

      Collecting money from opensource-companys? Daryl McBride will turn in his grave if Larry is even stupid enough to try it...

      Eh? I don't think that the Mormons bury their living, no matter how ghoulish are the corporations that they helm.

      I'm afraid Daryl McBride will be quite operational when your friends' commits arrive...

    I think that anything having to do with ReiserFS is a dead end.
