Zevo Beta conversion to Community Edition

Post by redwards » Mon Sep 17, 2012 10:33 am

I have an existing 30TB with 60GB read cache on a machine with 32GB of RAM, and would like to move from the old beta version to the Community Edition. I am assuming this is impossible with the 16TB limitation that you have in place. Will there be a commercial version that supports larger pool sizes?

The drives are set up in two groups with raidz-2 within the pool.

I emailed them and asked the same question, this is the response I received.

"Thanasi, thanks for your email. There will be more products down the line. I have passed your feedback along to our engineers. This is just the beginning..."

If this is a community Edition why not release it under BSD license and allow the kernel hackers out in the world to help them develop their product? just because it's the more advanced of the 2 functional zfs clients for OSX in pool revision does not restrict the communities willingness to assist a company into fruition.

My personal belief on why tenscomplement died was their unwillingness to work with the community as a whole to see their project through. there is allot of talent willing to donate a tremendous amount of time and energy into this however having the code for both the GUI and the backend locked away with 5 to 20 folks reviewing it and updating it is not anywhere as fast or efficient as releasing it as a community project and allowing input.


just my 2 cents worth been doing this a while now, Beta'd this project when it was under Ten, have done alpha and beta testing for many other projects, including drivers for the nvidia on the osx (non Mac) intels.
