Star ZFS Ported to FreeBSD
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Tue 22nd Aug 2006 16:55 UTC, submitted by eschrock
FreeBSD Following in the footsteps of DTrace, another major OpenSolaris feature is making its way to FreeBSD. FreeBSD developer Pawel Dawidek has announced a port of ZFS, Sun's next generation filesystem. In just 10 days of work, Pawel already has ZFS filesystems mounted, with the ability to create files and navigate directories.

ZFS is allready part of Leopard(OSX), they call it timemachine. checkout http://uadmin.blogspot.com/2006/08/is-linux-being-left-behind.html for a link and multimedia presentation to it.

There is no evidence that TimeMachine is based on ZFS. That's pure conjecture at this point in time.

John Siracusa at Ars thinks otherwise. Time Machine isn't ZFS. Anyway, it's a good read. Check it out: http://arstechnica.com/staff/fatbits.ars/2006/8/15/4995/p2 .
