FreeBSD / ZFS question
posted by Laurence on Fri 11th Apr 2008 12:05
Conversations ZFS is listed as "experimental support" - does anyone know how stable and reliable this support is (or know where I can look to find more information out about FBSD's ZFS support)?

Well, as if "experimental" wasn't clear enough already....

A person recently posted on the opensolaris zfs mailing list that he tried to import a zfs pool that was created in freebsd into opensolaris, and it did not work.

The freebsd zfs mailing list has people talking about different config tweaks to do to make it not crash the kernel.

Does that answer your question!

Yeah cheers. I was just didn't find the term "experimental" very clear given it was implemented in the "stable" branch of FreeBSD. Surely if it's unstable (as you suggest) then it shouldn't have been released with the "stable" release of FBSD7
