Mac OS X Noel Dellofano, who is part of the ZFS dev team at Apple, has a post on Mac OS Forge announcing a late Christmas gift: she is making available binaries and source code (plus instructions) of the ZFS filesystem for Mac OS X. "ZFS is a new kind of filesystem that provides simple administration, transactional semantics, end-to-end data integrity, and immense scalability. ZFS is not an incremental improvement to existing technology; it is a fundamentally new approach to data management. We've blown away 20 years of obsolete assumptions, eliminated complexity at the source, and created a storage system that's actually a pleasure to use."

A simple search on Noel Dellofano finds his blog:
http://blogs.sun.com/dellofano/

Notice the address. When he says "we" he simply means "we the developers of ZFS", not company X or Y.

Some points:-

- His last post was in 2005 before anyone else had picked up ZFS.

- His blog is on the sun.com domain

- Obviously he is referring to Sun developers.

It's simple. He's one of the creators on the ZFS project who then took a job at Apple. The WE work both at SUN and Apple.
