Dear GreenBytes, and Michael Robinson,
I while back I wanted to add some features to ZEVO that were important to me, ie, ZVOLs, lz4 and encryption. But alas, ZEVO's policy does not include
releasing sources. Not too surprising really.
So I started my own port of ZFS, currently called osx.zfs, but will probably be called MacZFS once it is ready. It currently in testing stage, benchmarking etc. It appears
to have promise, but a lot of work missing still. Although, I did add ZVOL support already.
But in most areas, I am still playing catch-up. However, I would still think it would be better for everyone, if ZEVO were to consider going open source.
You can still do your product and licenses the exact same you intended, with the additional assistance from people like myself who want more
features.
Anyway, it is unlikely, but I thought I would pose the question any way.
Feel free to give the development a whirl;
