I see that Pinguy OS, an uber-Ubuntu o/s, includes native ZFS support. Any pointers to more info on this? -- David

went to IRC for the distro, will post when I have more info. I think this is kqstor-based ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: "C.

It''s not yet fully functional. https://groups.google.com/a/zfsonlinux.org/group/zfs-discuss/browse_thread/thread/00692385519bf096# https://groups.google.com/a/zfsonlinux.org/group/zfs-discuss/browse_thread/thread/5305355200ac0b38# If a Linux distro is using zfs right now, it''d either be zfs-fuse or kq''s. -- Fajar -- Fajar

First the implementation by kqstore. They largly used the work from behlendorf(zfsonlinx.org) and merely added the very thin posixlayer which belendorf wasnt able/willing to implement yet. The version by kqstor works so far, although its still very buggy and sloooooow. The version by behlendorf works except on its unable to mount zfs-datasets though its possble to use zvols. Then we have a third try (which in fact was the first try to bring zfs to linux) with zfs-fuse.net. As the name indicates it makes use of FUSE ("filesystem in userspace" -- http://fuse.sourceforge.net/). This third one i quite far ahead and the one which is already packaged for ubuntu. HTH Malte
I found out from the distro maintainer that the kernel uses source from zfsonlinux.org''s git repository, but have not found someone who has mounted a zfs filesystem, so I don''t know the status of the port. I wonder if the kqstor code was merged into this repository? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Malte Schirmacher <malte.schirmacher at webfrap.de> Date: Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 5:51 AM Subject: Re: [zfs-discuss] native ZFS on Linux To: zfs-discuss at opensolaris.org On 12.02.2011 18:18, David E.

Here is part of what could be the answer: https://launchpad.net/~dajhorn/+archive/zfs A DKMS solution implemented using zfsonlinux.org and kqstor.com. I don''t know how this is related to the Pinguy version, but suspect this is a DKMS''ization of what they did. Will let you know when I find out... -- David
