If you are able to create the original zfs pool and filesystem format

that should be a useful baseline which should work for Solaris,
Illumos, FreeBSD, and Linux. That is provided that the OpenZFS
implementations are respectful and do not automatically upgrade the
pool version, or veer outside the bounds of the original
specification. OpenSolaris and Illumos introduced the original feature
flags so many of the feature flags should work with derivative zfs
implementations.
There is no substitute for testing!

Hi,
A file system related generic question:
I am looking to keep one of my GPT Partitions on my disk to be a
file system that both Illumos (Solaris) / FreeBSD and Linux can
read. This will be primarily to store data. I know there's vfat
(fat32). Wanna know if there's anything better (non-MSFTish) out
there.
Other than exfat, fat32 what else do we have?
I started using openzfs (which is at version 2.3.3 rn) on linux.
However, there's probably a version difference with Illumos/OI.
Since, I couldn't complete the OI setup on my machine yet I don't
know what version of zfs we are using on OI. I am not quite sure
if zfs will be a viable option due to lack of compatible versions
(openzfs on linux and ZFS on illumos).
Best!
Atiq

Hi!
Yes, if you use the "-d" option with zpool create, all of illumos,
Solaris 10+, BSD, Linux with installed ZFS support can read/write to it.
You are able to enable additional features one by one, whilst checking
if the features are available to all of you favorite OS.
BTDT.
BTW, i've tried a ZFS Package for Windows 1-2 years ago, that worked in
my test case..

For my camera sd card i use EXFAT, there's a pkg on OI available (built
from https://github.com/relan/exfat.git - uses libFUSE)
Regards,
Stephan

I also tried sharing a zfs partition over Linux and OpenIndiana
a few years ago, with consistent uids and gids across oses.
It worked, but it was a pita to have to do zpool import/export
when switching oses. Maybe this can be avoided, but I did not
know how.
