zfs discuss - Jan 2011 - a few questions - Oracle

It is sad that such a lovely file system is now in Oracle''s
unresponsive hands.  I hope someone builds another open file system just like
it.  I could never find anything like it to protect my data like it does.

I have to reply to this.

While Oracle may not seem responsive, they are innovating on the zfs still.  I
haven''t seen it stand still when Oracle took over Sun.

Also, if you do your homework, there is a BSD version floating around, and a
Linux version also.  To boot, Illumos has the last open source release which
brings it to Openindania.

So what are you talking about?

Also, "another open file system like it" ... "anything like it to
protect my
data..."

Go use Linux, and BTRFS.  It is GPL, and guess what.  Also developed by
Oracle.  But it''s GPL, and it''s included by default in many of
the latest
linuxes.
