Retrospective: confusion
zfs-discuss at osdir.com doesn't list what I seek.
zfs-discuss at thr3ads.net seems better, albeit lacking the final weeks before the end-of-life (EOL) of the zfs-discuss list.
zfs-discuss at The Mail Archive includes a last call (2013-03-24) that's not in the thr3ads.net archive:
A February 2013 thread zfs-discuss mailing list & opensolaris EOL (highlight, 2013-03-17) is certainly missing from the osdir.com area for that period.
Is the osdir.com archive untrustworthy? Or was there another zfs-discuss list?
Now and in the future
There's http://java.net/projects/solaris-zfs/li ... ss/archive (an archive of zfs-discuss for Oracle Solaris ZFS in the java.net area), which can't include the zfs-discuss archive(s) as we know it. Its first thread began yesterday.
There's the more established and platform-agnostic illumos-zfs list:
Everything ZFS running or developing on illumos-based distributions, as well as interaction with FreeBSD and Linux (ZoL) activists. Any sensible ZFS-related discussion and questions are welcome and taken seriously.
http://wiki.illumos.org/display/illumos ... ling+Lists for illumos mailing lists.
zfs-macos Google Group is for MacZFS, but that's not agnostic. And the three lists for ZFS on Linux, and so on. Oh I just realised … there's another zfs-discuss that's primarily a Google Group. So maybe osdir.com is archiving the group/list for LInux.
If we already had two zfs-discuss lists, then I'm disappointed that Oracle didn't take that into account before creating a third with the same name.
Web search perspective, anyone? Whisky Tango Foxtrot.
So. To which of the following lists are orphans (from the original zfs-discuss list) most likely to jump ship?
- zfs@lists.illumos.org (begun in 2011)
- zfs-discuss@zfsonlinux.org (Google Groups makes it difficult to see when it began)
- zfs-discuss@solaris-zfs.java.net (begun yesterday)
