There're some rumors saying that sun might be considering a linux port. http://www.sun.com/emrkt/campaign_docs/expertexchange/knowledge/solaris_zfs_gen.html#10 Q: Any thoughts on porting ZFS to Linux, AIX, or HPUX? A: No plans of porting to AIX and HPUX. Porting to Linux is currently being investigated. (personally I doubt it, that FAQ was written some time ago and Sun's executives change their opinion more often than Linus does ;) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
