It’s like bragging about adopting dtrace it’s a great and powerful feature, but means zilch to the average user. A bunch of power users frequenting this forum and espousing the advantages of ZFS doesn’t really change the fact that it still means zilch to the average user.
I’ve got no issue with Apple adopting ZFS, I don’t think it’s a bad thing, but it means zilch to the average user. Listing Information About All Storage Pools or a Specific Pool. The 8-GB disk is replaced with a 16-GB disk (c1t13d0), but the pool size is not expanded. You can use the zpool list command to display basic information about pools.
#Openzfs list pool version features code
Apple won’t be signing any coprighted code over to Sun, so there’s very little chance that any modifications or changes Apple makes to their ZFS implementation will benefit Sun, though maybe the community openSolaris users.Īt any rate, the point I was making was that many people are jumping cartwheels as if Apple has broken new ground, without really understanding what they’re tubthumping. For example, the following pool is created with one 8-GB disk (c0t0d0). Apple’s adoption of ZFS holds no benefit for Sun’s users of ZFS, any more than Apple’s adoption of BSD or GNU technologies benefits those organizations.
It’s good for Apple users who want to use ZFS. If Apple can integrate Sun’s open technology into its own and make it work then it is good for those who use ZDF. Are your bosses going to say, “hey, let’s move to Macintosh hardware for our mission critical operations now that they have ZFS!” ?Īpple was just parroting Sun’s material. Which organization is more likely to wind up in a datacenter, Sun or Apple? Seriously. The data we produce, manipulate, store and retrieve is more important.įair enough, but kind of my point. In many ways the operating system is becoming irrelevant. The self-healing model in-and-of-itself will be worth it to businesses small, medium and large. It will not alleviate all issues, such as hardware failure, but it will get many issues, like silent data corruption, off our backs. I’ve had to deal with stupid #$%^ RAIDs and tape backups inside a data center.
