Open ZFS
Open ZFS is open-source storage software which encompasses the functionality of traditional filesystems, volume managers, and more. Our community brings together developers from the illumos, FreeBSD, Linux, and MacOS platforms, and a wide range of companies and organizations. By working together, we can continue making Open ZFS an outstanding storage platform, with consistent reliability and functionality across all distributions.
The main technical goal of the Open ZFS project is to make it easier to share changes to ZFS between platforms. We have a number of efforts toward this:
Should we move the below to its own page? Perhaps leaving just a sentence about each main item here. I'd like to differentiate these in-progress projects from the "project ideas" which aren't necessarily being actively worked on.
- A platform-independent mailing list for ZFS developers to review ZFS code and architecture changes from all platforms.
- Smoothing the illumos integration process.
- Make it easy to run both ztest and the ZFS test suite (TestRunner or STF based) on every platform
- Reduce code differences between the platforms
