OpenZFS

Post by shuman » Tue Sep 17, 2013 8:14 pm

I'm thinking at this point we'd be better served to abandon ZEVO and turn our attention and efforts to OpenZFS. Seems way more promising at this point and will hopefully have better interchangeability with other OSs as well.

I support OpenZFS, but for my use of ZFS with OS X: it's not practical to abandon ZEVO.

While I applaud the effort of creating OpenZFS and support people making it available on MacOSX, my two cents is that it will be at least a couple years before OpenZFS on mac osx is at the level of where ZEVO is today. Meaning, it is integrated and plays (sort of) nicely with the rest of the system. It took Don & co almost as much time to get it up and running and fix most of the edge cases. So I agree with Graham: support yes, abandoning ZEVO -- no.

Keeping my fingers crossed for the 10.9 ZEVO update.

Clarification

Post by grahamperrin » Fri Sep 20, 2013 2:09 am

In IRC someone misunderstood my previous post. To clarify …

I use Apple OS X on Apple Mac hardware, a laptop. I want to run no more than one operating system on the Mac, so for me the choice is one of:

  1. MacZFS stable
  2. ZEVO Community Edition 1.1.1
  3. ZFS-OSX.

For me: ZEVO is reliable, more than stable enough. I use it in a production environment.

This topic suggests abandonment of ZEVO.

For me it's not practical to move production data from a reliable environment (ZEVO), to an alpha environment (ZFS-OSX) that should be used only with test pools.
