OpenZFS on OS X brings OpenZFS features to Apple's OS X.
The installer release of OpenZFS on OS X is ready for use by people who are willing to learn to administer ZFS from the Terminal, or who already know how to do so.
Contents
Compatibility[edit]

To use the official release[edit]
Download the most recent installer and follow the instructions for installing the official release.
To begin testing the most recent build[edit]
Follow the instructions for installing from source.
Suggested focus areas for testers[edit]
- Identifying integration issues with OS X.
- Finding incompatibilities with 3rd party software.
- Stress testing.
- Security auditing.
Notes[edit]
Please remember that ZFS alone is not a substitute for a good backup strategy.
If you have ZEVO or MacZFS installed
- you must uninstall that software and reboot before installing O3X (scripts for doing so are included with the O3X release download).
- you must uninstall O3X if you choose to revert to ZEVO or MacZFS - an uninstaller script for O3X is also included with the release download.
