Open source distributions of OpenZFS are available for the following open source platforms.
(For commercial products, see companies and organizations.)
Darwin
At the core of Mac OS X Mountain Lion, which is certified to The Open Group UNIX® 03 standard, are Apple open source Darwin technologies.
ZFS-OSX
- Port of ZFS on Linux
- alpha, developer preview – please use only with test pools
- for use with Mac OS X 10.6 – OS X 10.9
- primary focus on command line compatibility
- issues involving GUIs (Finder, Time Machine etc.) may be deferred
- not yet tested with Darwin – might need slight compile tweaks
- occasional disk images at http://lundman.net/ftp/osx.zfs/
- when ZFS-OSX becomes stable it will be the preferred stable version of MacZFS.
FreeBSD
FreeBSD is a full general purpose operating system. There are also several specialized distributions.
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD
- Debian variant with around ninety percent 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).
FreeBSD
FreeNAS
- NAS appliance software
- commercial support available for sister product TrueNAS from ixSystems.
PC-BSD
- Workstation/desktop OS
- commercial support available from ixSystems.
illumos
The illumos codebase is the foundation for various distributions – comparable to the relationship between the Linux kernel and Linux distributions.
OmniOS
- General purpose server OS
- download
- source code
- commercial support available from OmniTI.
OpenIndiana
- General purpose server OS
- download
- source code
Linux
Gentoo
- Gentoo provides first-party ZFS on Linux packages to itself and its derivatives.
ZFS on Linux
- Implemented in the kernel
- maintained in an independent code repository (not the mainline kernel)
- provides self-building packages for Debian, Fedora, RHEL/CentOS/SL, Ubuntu and build instructions for several other distributions.
