Welcome to OpenZFS

OpenZFS launched this week!

OpenZFS is the truly open source successor to the ZFS project. Our community brings together developers from the illumos, FreeBSD, Linux, and OS X platforms, and a wide range of companies that are building products on top of OpenZFS.

OpenZFS is an outstanding storage platform that encompasses the functionality of traditional filesystems, volume managers, and more, with consistent reliability, functionality and performance across all distributions:

FreeBSD Webpage GitHub
ZFS on Linux Webpage GitHub
ZFS-OSX MacZFS GitHub
