zfs discuss - Jul 2007 - Trying to understand which kernel subsystem ZFS falls under.

In "Solaris Internals", ZFS is not covered.

I would think that ZFS would lie in the VFS subsystem, but I seem to recall
reading that this is not the case.

Could someone point me to a doc/diagram that would help clarify this for me?

Thanks,
Brian

VFS is just an interface between a filesystem and the rest of the kernel.

See Figure 3:
Traditional file system block diagram, vs. the ZFS block diagram

Thank you for the reference to the ZFS overview
document.

It''s very useful and takes a different tack than the source tour, etc.
There''s a place for all of them.

Could someone please place a link to this document or a copy of it at  
the OpenSolaris ZFS documentation at  
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/

Thanks again,

Eric
