Shame that license issues has blocked ZFS adoption in Linux distros. Typical that the Linux community is all about opensource as long as it came from them.


That must be why i'm willing to stick to ext3/4 while i watch development of btfs.

All my zealous love for the gpl is blinding me to the truth that i truly truly want ZFS for my servers.
