]]> Comment on ZFS: What was all that fuss about? by Alex Blewitt http://techjournal.318.com/general-technology/zfs-what-was-all-that-fuss-about/comment-page-1/#comment-8 Alex Blewitt Fri, 02 Nov 2007 23:06:34 +0000 http://www.318.com/techjournal/?p=90#comment-8 ZFS is present in Mac OS X Leopard, just as read-only in the client system (you can download support for read/write from the Apple Developer Connection). Secondly, ZFS still does stand for Zettabyte File System :-) It's not changed. Lastly, there are other reasons to use ZFS; one is that it can be swapped between little endian and big endian systems (e.g. PPC and Intel) without needing to adjust the data format that's written to disk, and per-disk block checksums which guarantee detecting of (small) failures in the disk system. You can even have pseudo-raid with one disk, by asking it to compress certain file systems or to duplicate data on them. And the snapshot feature has an ability to create multiple snapshots without an extra disk attached, and has the ability to remote send the deltas between snapshots to off-site backups. There's a lot to like, but as you say, it wasn't included by default. My guess is that it's read-only in 10.5.0 so that later (say, 10.5.5) it can be present as a RW option, but still allow you to restore/recover ZFS partitions if you need to go back to the boot disks. Maybe we'll even see it replacing HFS+, but that won't be until 10.6 or 10.7.

There's idx.wiki and tcl.wiki in there from Andreas Kupries circa about 2002 but it seems that while it's similar to the wikid project, it's actually different from that too. I think they borrowed some code and made it into their own thing. Works well. Neither really.
