Can you please describe in what way it is broken?

Well, no one knows for sure. It may or may not break. I always assume the worst.

The Developer Preview is available for download. I believe NakkiNyan has already tested ZEVO with it and found that it was broken. So unless Apple happens to change something between the Developer Preview and the actual release that magically turns out to fix what's broken, it's cooked unless GreenBytes deals with it.

Ahh, pardon me, I didn't know this. I totally called it though.

ilovezfs is correct, I have the preview. It is on a thumb drive but it is still a full installation and I did the install and update, the drive does not show in finder at all.

I would like to be more descriptive but I prefer to at least stay close to the NDA, since I need the account, and a log will definitely show more than Apple would like. I will just show the 1 line I find important out of the whole thing...

Code: Select all
zfsx_start: unsuported kernel version 13

this is followed by many "start failed" and "failed to load" messages for the kext file

That's actually good news. Don hard-coded it to break presumably to prevent accidental catastrophic data loss. So we still don't know if it's really broken.

Too bad, GreenBytes are the only ones who can make the tweak to fix it (if it is not broken).

Or they could release the code. Ahem.

Under the circumstances, that would be the best solution.

That won't happen. They have already demonstrated their contempt and indifference for their Zevo userbase. I predict the project will die and the code will never be released.

What are their legal obligations under the CDDL? Anyone feeling sue happy?

While I don't know what they are, I'm sure we can't sue them. I think that release of useless code was, in part, fulfillment of the CDDL
