ilovezfs: thanks again. It was, of course, a pleasure to work with you on this.

Anyone: there are some gaps to be filled (mostly in the FreeBSD column) and a few questions be answered.

With regard to the ZEVO Community Edition implementation, there arose a handful of OS X-specific questions that are not on the sheet. I'll seek answers. If there's anything substantive to be shared, I'll add a row to the sheet.

Thanks
Graham

Does the MacZFS team have any idea when the MacZFS development branch might become stable?

Red alerts, alpha, beta, stable

MacZFS prototype: towards stability

In a chat on 2013-07-13 the "core zfs work" was reportedly "pretty stable".

Re: the table that's linked from the opening post, an earlier version drew attention – with asterisks – to areas in which further testing is required. For simplicity we removed those asterisks and instead, drew attention to the alpha status.

Beyond the alpha development of MacZFS prototype

I can't speak for the developers but personally, I would recommend a few months' testing of a beta.

Red alerts

There was a wish to keep colours and shading to a minimum, so the table offers bold red alerts at only three points:

  • one for MacZFS stable (can not import pools that are at version 28)
  • one for ZEVO Community Edition 1.1.1 (kernel panic with unreleased builds of OS X 10.9)
  • one for MacZFS prototype (alpha, not yet beta).
