Welcome to OpenZFS

OpenZFS is open-source storage software that encompasses the functionality of traditional filesystems, volume managers, and more.

The OpenZFS community brings together developers – from the illumos, FreeBSD, Linux, and OS X platforms – and a wide range of companies and organizations. Our work together will continue to make OpenZFS an outstanding storage platform with consistent reliability, functionality and performance across all distributions.

Goals

The main technical goal of the OpenZFS project is easier sharing of changes between platforms. Combined efforts include:

History

ZFS was originally developed by Sun Microsystems for the Solaris operating system. The source code for ZFS was released under the CDDL as part of the OpenSolaris operating system, and was subsequently ported to other platforms.

The illumos project was founded as an open source fork of OpenSolaris.

OpenZFS is the truly open source successor to the ZFS project. Development thrives as a part of illumos, which has added many features and performance improvements. New OpenZFS features and fixes are regularly pulled in from illumos, to all ports to other platforms, and vice versa.

Pages

Key pages include:
