ZFS in Leopard

Mac

I’ve heard some nasty rumors that ZFS will not be included in Leopard. Please tell me this isn’t true.

Sexy time update!:

An Apple spokesperson called us Tuesday seeking to clarify Croll’s statement. Croll was apparently supposed to indicate that ZFS would be available as a limited option, but not as the default file system.” We are now writing a separate story to note Apple’s mis-statement and hopefully to reveal more about how ZFS would work in Leopard. We’ll update you here when that story is live. Michael Singer InformationWeek - West Coast Editor

    Apparently read only support is built in, and you can download a kext from the developer site to get the rest of the functionality. Hopefully this will remain the case in the full release. I can live without GUI tools as long as I can create zraids via CLI.
