Re: [luv-main] backkuppc and ZFS (was Re: Back ups)

Quoting Craig Sanders (cas@taz.net.au):

many of them now work on the same code at Joyent or Nexenta and similar places.

And it looks like they, through the Illumos community, will end up forking OpenSolaris (incl. ZFS and other solaris goodies) by default if Oracle doesn't start actively participating.

I was talking to the local FreeBSD people two nights ago, and they say this basically has already happened. The OpenIndiana/Illumos codebase is already merging patches and has become the de-facto head version without Oracle's participation.
