Numberzz Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard will officially support ZFS, albeit restricted to a read-only implementation with which no ZFS filesystems can be modified. Developers receiving the latest ZFS preview are allowed full read and write capabilities under Leopard, including the ability to create and destruct ZFS pools and filesystems. The developer release is a sign that Apple plans further adoption of ZFS under Mac OS X as the operating system matures. It's believed that ZFS can eventually replace HFS+ as the default file system for Mac OS X. Unlike the upgrade from HFS to HFS+, ZFS is not a small improvement to today's technology, but is a completely new approach to data management. It claims to provide "simple administration, transactional semantics, end-to-end data integrity, and immense scalability." Topic Discussion on InsanelyMac What is ZFS?
