== OpenZFS ==
== Introduction to OpenZFS ==


OpenZFS brings together developers and users from various open-source forks of the original ZFS on different platforms and we're always looking to grow our community. There are a multitude of ways to contribute to the project and contributors are happy to help newcomers. As we add diverse perspectives, our community becomes richer, and we're committed to creating an environment where all people feel welcome.  [[Newcomers | Information for new contributors is available here.]]
'''OpenZFS''' is an open-source storage platform. It includes the functionality of both traditional file systems and volume manager. It has many advanced [[Features | features]] including:
* Protection against data corruption. Integrity checking for both data and metadata.
* Continuous integrity verification and automatic “self-healing” repair
** Data redundancy with mirroring, RAID-Z1/2/3 [and DRAID]
* Support for high storage capacities — up to 256 trillion yobibytes (2128 bytes)
* Space-saving with transparent compression using LZ4, GZIP or ZSTD
* Hardware-accelerated native encryption
* Efficient storage with snapshots and copy-on-write clones
* Efficient local or remote replication — send only changed blocks with ZFS send and receive


Primary activities of the community include:

== Overview ==
[[Newcomers | OpenZFS concepts]]


OpenZFS was [[announcement | announced in September 2013]] as the truly '''open source''' [[History | successor to the ZFS project]]. Our community '''brings together developers''' from the illumos, FreeBSD, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, and Windows [[distributions | platforms]], and a wide range of [[companies]] that build products on top of OpenZFS.
A non-exhaustive list of [[Features | OpenZFS features]]


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]]:

The high-level goals of OpenZFS are to:
* '''raise awareness''' of the quality, utility, and availability of open source implementations of ZFS,
* encourage '''open communication''' about ongoing efforts to improve open source ZFS, and
* ensure '''consistent reliability''', functionality, and performance of all distributions of ZFS.
 
The main technical goal of OpenZFS is [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CFapSYxA5QRFYy5k6ge3FutU7zbAWbaeGN2nKVXgxCI/edit#gid=0 easier sharing of code] between platforms.
