About[edit]

OpenZFS on OS X brings OpenZFS to Mac OS X. It is a free software project released under the CDDL and the Apple Public Source License.

Authors OS X[edit]

Jörgen Lundman is the principal developer of the ZFS on Apple OS X port. He works full time as a Unix Engineer at GMO Internet, Tokyo, Japan. This port would not have been possible without the help of many others who have contributed their time, effort, and insight.

 Jorgen Lundman <lundman@lundman.net>

First and foremost the hard working ZFS developers at Sun/Oracle. They are responsible for the bulk of the code in this project and without their efforts there never would have been a ZFS filesystem.

The Apple OS X port was made easier by the great work of ZFS On Linux, and more information on that project can be found in the 'AUTHORS' file.

 ZFS On Linux by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory


Large parts come from the original work in MacZFS, and the excellent work of those early developers.

VFS layer and glue comes from the FreeBSD project, who has done a excellent job connecting the BSD and SYSV kernels together.

Additional assistance has been given by people online, reluctant and sometimes willingly,

The flexible and welcoming attitude toward Open Source by GMO Internet, Tokyo, Japan has been an integral part of this project. Including donation of rack space and bandwidth for the Open ZFS on OS X VM server.

The book [OS X and iOS Kernel Programming] has been useful when working out the internals of the newer IOKit section of the Apple OS X kernel. Available on Amazon.

Authors ZOL[edit]

Brian Behlendorf is the principal developer of the ZFS on Linux port. He works full time as a computer scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on the ZFS and Lustre filesystems. However, this port would not have been possible without the help of many others who have contributed their time, effort, and insight.

Next all the developers at KQ Infotech who implemented a prototype ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL). Their implementation provided an excellent reference for adding the ZPL functionality.
