Is the source for ZFS crypto likely to be released on opensolaris.org? I searched in /onnv/onnv-gate/usr/src/uts/common/fs/zfs, which may have been the wrong place, for aes and crypt and got no results so I assume that the zfs encryption has not been released to date. Regards, Rob

There have been so many mixed message on oracle''s part on these issues, my current understanding is that they "say" they are going to release the source once the full version of Solaris 11 is released.

I do not know anything about future plans nor would I be able to comment here at this time even if I did. Please bring this up with your Oracle account/support team representative if it is important to your business. Is there something in particular you want to do with the source if you had it available to you ? Are there changes you want to make ? -- Darren J Moffat
I guessed you wouldn''t be able to say, even if... The only shortfall in capability that I''m aware of is the secure boot/FDE, which we discussed previously. I am mostly interested in the source to see how features have been implemented and to understand the system structure. I certainly wouldn''t presume to make changes! On the slightly more general topic of source on opensolaris, are the designs for subsystems/features available? I''ve found PSARC cases for some things but I expect that more detailed design, system interaction and use cases are documented as part of the development process. Are any of these types of document made public to assist in understanding at a higher level than the source code? Again, this is really to help me understand the system, rather than to attempt any modification.
