Is anyone else just nervous about lack of ....

Post by zslg01 » Thu Apr 04, 2013 4:56 pm

The lack of activity in the "Announcements" area causes me some concern. Linux ZFS just shipped an upgrade, FreeBSD is upgrading as time moves on but nothing since January in Announcements from Zevo. How about at least "We plan on continuing with Zevo" or "Its a free product - and is going to stay as is".
Don't know how I feel about long term commitment to Zevo given the silence from GreenBytes.
BTRFS is an alternate file system that is showing some life under OS X and provides most of ZFS functions.

I agree! I think it's even worse than what you indicate. The last "real" announcement was in Sept '12. Yikes. I won't typically even use software that goes that long without activity and I have been playing with the linux version of zfs more and more. In fact, the other day I booted Mint from a zfs drive. We won't be seeing that on OS X ever! ;)

Please continue under editions and versions of ZEVO, community and open source (avoid proliferation of topics).

Thanks

Graham, I think at this point people would just be happy to hear a "Yes, we are still here and supporting this product". It seems like this forum is just on auto-pilot. I subscribe to GreenBytes on twitter and there is all kinds of social marketing going on so I know they are active with products, but nothing surrounding ZEVO on Mac.

I don't want this to come off as unappreciative; on the contrary, I am very appreciative. We all just need to know that development is continuing.

Thanks, ZEVO devs! Are you there? Bueller, Bueller. . . ;)

Please continue under the other topic … I'll flag this topic for a move.

Postscript (see below): no worries :-)

I don't think I can move this conversation to under another topic, this'll remain a separate topic. Sorry.

Hold tight folks, there is something brewing with ZEVO that I'm not at liberty to talk about at the moment.
