The following open-source operating system distributions use Open ZFS (listed alphabetically):

illumos based

  • illumos was forked from the OpenSolaris codebase in 2010
  • The illumos codebase is the foundation used by various distributions
    • Similar to the relationship between the Linux kernel and Linux distros
  • browse ZFS source code in opengrok or github

OmniOS

OpenIndiana

FreeBSD based

  • FreeBSD is a full general-purpose operating system. There are also several specialized distributions.

FreeBSD

FreeNAS

  • NAS appliance software
  • commercial support available for sister product TrueNAS from ixSystems

PC-BSD

Debian GNU/kFreeBSD

  • Debian variant with ~90% of the same software packages, based on GNU libc, but using the FreeBSD kernel which provides ZFS
  • Installer supports creation of ZFS pools, installing to them, and booting directly from them with GRUB2
  • We'd like to know how we're doing, and what major features are missing (DTrace comes to mind)

Linux based

  • ZFS on Linux is implemented in the kernel, but is maintained in an independent code repository (not the mainline Linux kernel).

ZFS on Linux

  • ZFS on Linux provides self-building packages for Debian, Fedora, RHEL/CentOS/SL, Ubuntu and build instructions for several other distributions

Gentoo

  • Gentoo provides first-party ZFS on Linux packages to itself and its derivatives.

Apple OS X based

ZFS-OSX on GitHub

  • port of ZFSonLinux
  • for use with Mac OS X 10.6 – OS X 10.9
  • beta, developer preview – please only use on test pools
  • when ZFS-OSX becomes stable it will become MacZFS
  • pool version 5000 (feature-flags)
  • filesystem version 5
  • occasional disk images at http://lundman.net/ftp/osx.zfs/
