OpenZFS Project Launches, Uniting ZFS Developers

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday September 17, 2013 @12:05PM 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."

Re:ZFS for Windows? by guruevi · 2013-09-17 12:40 · Score: -1, Troll

Windows is the only OS out there that isn't fully POSIX compatible, so no, you can't develop on a broken platform.
Either way, why would you want to pay for licensing in order to run open source software?

I spent some time testing various workloads on ScheisseFS, but in the end it was just a shitty solution.
