But good news is that the latest prototype development version of MacZFS can import ZEVO pools now. You should only use it for testing purposes on throw-away pools or pools of which you have a solid backup and only if you don't mind possibly having to spend the time to recover data from backup, until the developers green light it for general use.

Anyone know if Linux ZFS can import ZEVO pools?

Yes ZFS on Linux can, as can any other OS supporting pool version 28 or higher:

Wow, it would be SO amazing if somebody roll up a MacZFS home-brew formula! (http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Formula-Cookbook)

That way, when the blessed MacZFS developers get things far enough down the road that it can import our zero pools, we'll all be able to install it with a simple "brew install maczfs"!

That's already done, please read the previous posts in this topic.

For discussion of MacZFS, please aim for the MacZFS area – thanks. I'm often there.

Hi, Everyone - Michael Robinson (VP, Marketing) from GreenBytes here. I hope you have all had a chance to read Robin Harris's article on ZEVO's status, which can be found here: http://storagemojo.com/2013/06/20/can-mac-zfs-be-saved/

We are actively looking to find a new home for ZEVO where it can be loved, nurtured, properly cared for and developed on an ongoing basis. We have a lot of respect for the loyal and passionate ZEVO users out there, which is why we are doing our best to find a suitable taker for the technology to help ensure its future.

As Robin posted in his article, anyone interested in taking ZEVO over can email GreenBytes directly at info@getgreenbytes.com. We are already engaged with a few different parties, but as I mentioned above, we want to make sure - both for us and for you, the ZEVO community - that it is given over to the right hands where it will receive the attention and further development that it deserves.

I will try to keep you posted best I can with further developments, which we hope will happen quickly.

Cheers,
Michael

Open-sourcing ZEVO is undoubtedly the best way to make sure it gets loved, nurtured, properly cared for, and developed on an ongoing basis.

I wish Don Brady & his team the best, and I hope ZEVO ends up in good hands.

I'm sure he meant that when it is in a safe and stable state. It is perfectly reasonable to talk about that here. YOU are NOT a mod ,as much as I'm sure you'd like to be, and have no authority to redirect users.

I don't claim authority. Please refrain from shouting. As I stated politely months ago, I do not wish to be a moderator here.

As the subject said, the post was orientation. Discussion of MacZFS prototype – of its safety, stability and so on – is best in the MacZFS area.
