ZFS v.15

[LoZio]

Hi
I saw zpool v.15 in -STABLE. For people like me who is running 8.1-RELEASE, is there a simple way to have v.15? Will it included in future pXX updates that I get with "freebsd-update"?
Thanks

You'll need to upgrade to -STABLE or to 8.2-RELEASE when it's out. The "pXX" updates are security fixes only.

ZFSv15 will be part of the 8.2 release. Once 8.2 is released, you can use freebsd-update to upgrade to it, then upgrade your pool/filesystems.

there is a zfsv15 patch for 8.1-RELEASE but as I recently discovered it is broken (causes panics), so update to STABLE or wait for 8.2-RELEASE.

Does any one know when ZFS v25 come out.

What's so special about v25? ZFS v31 is up to date and FreeBSD gets maybe v28 in release 9.0.

@oliverh
I would to see zfs future in FreeBSD and how will be handled by Oracle after killing OpenSolaris.

Then perhaps you should ask that question to begin with instead of some confusing side question which doesn't really have much to do with what you want to know.

how are they getting newer zfs src code now opensolaris is dead?

I am glad that its been continued as to me ufs needs replacing, its poor compared to alternatives such as ntfs and ext3, zfs gives freebsd a modern filesystem.

Just because OpenSolaris is dead doesn't mean ZFS is too.

 

[olav]

Is ZFS v31 open source?

 

[SirDice]

Like the rest of ZFS it has a CDDL license.

Good to know, ZFS v31 with crypto makes ZFS really complete feature wise in my opinion. One day Oracle will make ZFS proprietary for sure
