OpenZFS: The Future of Open Source ZFS Development

ZFS is a combined file system and logical volume manager originally designed by Sun Microsystems (now a part of Oracle). The features of ZFS include protection against data corruption, support for high storage capacities, data compression, snapshots and copy-on-write clones, continuous integrity checking and automatic repair, RAID Z (RAID 5) and native NFSv4 ACLs. The OpenZFS project provides a common development hub for all platforms working with open source ZFS code. This talk will discuss how OpenZFS enables ZFS code and ideas to flow easily between the illumos, FreeBSD, and Linux communities. It will cover how companies and organizations are integrating ZFS into their products, including purpose-built storage appliances and general-purpose distributions. In addition, it will highlight several important features and performance enhancements that were developed for OpenZFS, and also discuss forthcoming enhancements that are in the planning phase.
