On reading more about ZFS, is it true the latest source code isn't available for ZFS? So Sun is withholding new features, fixes etc from the codebase?
AFAIK, the open source ZFS "lives" on illumos, FreeBSD and zfsonlinux, coordinated via OpenZFS. The development seems to be independent from Sun/Oracle these days. I am not aware of active contributions from Oracle but I am not 100% sure. E.g. newest open source ZFS versions have "feature flags" instead of the version numbers as used by Oracle. For Russell: Have you seen this? https://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS The first TODO entry is about file(1) and magic. Regards Peter
