cmaus@mac.com Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 And what about ZFS? Is it really included? Or was that a joke? Can someone make screen caotures of that? (Disk Utility mabye?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukp Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Yes ZFS is included, as for screen captures wish I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmaus@mac.com Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 So, rumors have fulfilled! Mac OS Extended's future will be one of the alternate file systems to be chosen during Mac OS X Installation! Yohooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embio Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 that sucks, its just like what I affectionately call 'MS install propaganda' that you get with windows 9x, XP and 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm happy to see that Leopard is looking more and more Leopardish with each build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBK.Xscape Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 yea see it proves that windows is just pulling ideas from apple. each side does it and its for good. windows takes widgets and some other stuff while apple takes the installer. so what. i dont care.

Embio Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 (edited) That isnt what I am saying at all. I am saying I dont like that part of the installer and think its really cheap and tacky, and for apple to start doing something similiar is just daft. You have already bought the OS, why do they feel the need to advertise to you? ...and for the record both companies copied the WIMP interface philosophy from Xerox.

GBK.Xscape Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 ok yea becuase xerox has an awesome os (maybe in the 70's) but the main point is apple wants to do it and windows wants to do it also so they both do. its economics, w/e brings the most money into the pockets of apple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John the Geek Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 ...and for the record both companies copied the WIMP interface philosophy from Xerox. True, but Apple actually hired many of those guys after Xerox decided not to go ahead with the project, Microsoft did not. Please more info about the ZFS support More what? Everything there is to know about it is already at Solaris' web page. Google Solaris and ZFS to find out more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything there is to know about it is already at Solaris' web page. Google Solaris and ZFS to find out more. I know about ZFS in general, but I want to know about the support for it in Leopard. Screenshots of Disk Utility showing it, or what command line tools relevant to ZFS have been included so far, man pages, filesystem driver bundles, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuitCase Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 So is that to say ZFS will be a possible filesystem to run the OS on, or is it simply a new formatting scheme available for use? Like, you can use Disk Utility to format something in FAT32, but you can't run OS X on a FAT32 volume. I wonder if ZFS means we will no longer have all the messy Spotlight index files and such, and if it offers any feature\performance benefits? Perhaps Time Machine integration? I think that information is more interesting than a screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBK.Xscape Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 well so far people have reported it does not work, that it just sets there saying it is but it really isnt, i think apple just threw it in to get people excited. and hopefully you can run OSX on it, o dont see any other reason to have it.
