is this userland ZFS or native support?
|
Would you recommend ZFS for a file server, workstation, compute server?
|
I thinking if ZFS filesystem will enable me to put my backup
100 Gb to 10Gb hardisk :) btw i reading some link given, erm a lot of wonderful function i will wait for solaris 11 release for my sparc fire. i like solaris is because i one of old solaris ultrasparc 10 connected with sun storEDGE D1000, i dont know how old already this storage machine work well with solaris 10 new |

How many patents have sun opened for this filesystem?
|
I believe the number of patents is 56.
That doesn't hurt its use in FreeBSD and other O/Ses given the CDDL license is preserved. From http://blogs.sun.com/Gregp/entry/are...patents_useful We will *never* (yes, I said *never*) sue anyone who uses our ZFS codebase and follows the terms of the license: they publish their improvements, propagate the license, and not sue anyone else who uses the ZFS codebase. And look at the innovation not only with ZFS in OpenSolaris, but its adoption by Mac OS X and BSD. |

Its probably not going to happen...but its been discussed by Jonathan Schwartz ;) |
If Solaris goes over to the GPL3, what position would apple and freeBSD be in, i doubt the BSD license is compatible with the GPL3, so would that not cause licensing problems for freeBSD? Im still in limbo about GPL->BSD ports, could someone maybe explain?
|
If Solaris goes the GPLv3 way, that would certainly be as a dual license along the CDDL so there should be no clash with the BSD license.

ZFS no fuse linux
well, this is all well and good - i see why kernel.org can't put out native zfs for the interim, but that shouldn't be the end of it - has anyone been developing zfs kernel support that you could compile into a kernel for zfs? The fact that the gpl is inconsistent with sun is infinging on my freedom to compute - seems contradictory to Stallman's philosophy for GNU. So anyway - does anyone know of anyone who is developing such a source code?

The CDDL make no restriction on license mixing so if your freedom is infringed, the issue is on the GPL side. Quote:
