OpenSolaris is gone, Oracle won't make any OpenSolaris release but they're still working on Solaris (and maybe ZFS). But did they close the sources too ? I mean, they have a VCS, can we still access it and download the ZFS source files ? Did they also relicense them ? As for btrfs, don't forget it's GPL, and still not production-ready. ZFS has a proven reliability, if Oracle drops it because they have btrfs, I'll be very angry... > We're not going to drop ZFS because Oracle's plans are unclear. =A0It > remains to be seen how much other community support there is behind ZFS. > >> Will FreeBSD import btrfs or other similar file system? > > >From my observation, it takes about 2 years from the initial work on a > new filesystem until it's relatively stable, so I don't know why we would > suddenly decide to go that direction. > > mcl > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org= " > --=20 Olivier Smedts=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 = =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0=A0 _ =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0= =A0 ASCII ribbon campaign ( ) e-mail: olivier@gid0.org=A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 - against HTML email & vCards=A0 X www: http://www.gid0.org=A0 =A0 - against proprietary attachments / \ =A0 "Il y a seulement 10 sortes de gens dans le monde : =A0 ceux qui comprennent le binaire, =A0 et ceux qui ne le comprennent pas."
