No. Why?

grahamperrin, that is little comfort given that it is broken now and was broken in September 2012. There is a reason software is updated frequently. Bugs need fixing. Not one bug reported in this forum has been fixed since September 2012. Some bugs will break everything, others will only break some things. It is foolish to think you can escape the former or predict which type will come next, and unacceptable to not even communicate about the latter, let alone fix them. It is especially risky given ZEVO's use of private API, which means it could break completely during any dot release without notice.

Do you think you're a logician now?

The rest was "which type will come next." I am perfectly comfortable "predicting" more bugs will come of both varieties. Someone needs to learn to read.

If you're comfortable with MacZFS on Mavericks, then why do you take so much pleasure in bringing negativity to the ZEVO support forum?

Joe, don't be shy, you might like to add something negative here:

It is amazing that GreenBytes does not pay you. Or do they?

I've never understood it either. I think of a orphaned child, valiantly defending his parents that have long abandoned him

Why I use ZEVO

Post by grahamperrin » Thu Oct 24, 2013 12:31 pm

It's simple.

In both ZEVO and ZFS-OSX there are bugs.

When I last tested ZFS-OSX, less than two weeks ago: I could not use my home directory. For another user: Desktop freezes while using zfs volume as home directory. There's significant development activity but I would like to see broader testing for a few more months.

With ZEVO: I can use my Mac, none of the bugs are showstoppers.

No, Joe.

I'm a user of the software, not an employee.

And soon you will be their sole "user." I really do hope they pay you.

And I'm sure everyone is finding those same exact links, posted over and over again, really useful. Keep up the good work.

MacZFS-devel and ZFS-OSX

I linked to three things in the MacZFS area:

  • a discussion of test results
  • a report of an issue
  • a record of commitments to the code base.

You should view such things as good. Normal parts of a software development routine. Would you prefer the developers of MacZFS to not receive reports of issues? To not discuss test results?
