Programming This forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Zfs for linux finally!


As we all know, ZFS is by far the best file system and so far was only usable over Solaris.

People have workarounds and solutions which are kind of 2nd tone replacements, but either ways, all these solutions are not really good replacements as they either are not stable enough or lack some of the salient features of ZFS.

We at KQ, have finally succeeded in porting ZFS to Linux ! No hidden surprises, we have indeed ported ZFS on Linux (the main one, not any workaround modes here!!!

We are releasing the closed beta in last week of August/first week of september and are looking for closed beta customers who can test it for free on some environments.

Mail me at darshin@kqinfotech.com to register.

Feel free to put forward any questions as well.

Kind Regards,

To get the source code of ZFS Linux module one has to pay your company ? Or the source is freely available ?

By the way, this a forum for programming question/issues/discussions, and not a forum for free ads. So, unless the OP starts the appropriate discussion the thread looks like a shameless ad to me.

Correct - it and its seven spammy sisters are scheduled for the chopping block.

Thank you for demonstrating that you have no ethics whatsoever, and that you would not hesitate to harm a community if you could exploit it for a quick buck. When your only contribution here is an ad cross-posted to three different forums, that's what you're telling us.

I have a question: what made you think your behavior was acceptable?

And let me guess: you have no plans to contribute any of this to the Linux kernel project?
