They're the main copyright holder for both of the current modern/advanced filesystems for unix & linux - zfs and btrfs - and seem to have lost interest in both of them.
This is completely untrue. Both ZFS and btrfs remain at the top of our development priorities. Oracle employs several developers for both, including several of the top btrfs developers (who were hired by Chris Mason before he moved to fusion-IO). I can't speak for the ZFS development as that's not part of my sphere of responsibilities, but btrfs was the single largest piece of development done for our new Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel Release 2 (which is currently in beta). Just wanted to clear that up. Cheers, Avi
