There are many reasons why this doesn't fly:
- First of all you will need to build away to easily, automatically
import and export removable ZFS pools
- Installed base (windows, USB, cameras)
- "pcfs" uses about 1/10 of the code needed for support zfs and
it doesn't need as much memory as zfs does.
- Microsoft owns pcfs, so there's no point for them to change
windows
- Porting a filesystem is a lot more difficult.
I have to disagree with this in part. Yes, with all consumer devices
you currently need the pcfs. But for computers no. What I don't
understand is why Sun won't port the ZFS to Windows and sell it for
creation and free for reading. This way I can use it exclusively for
storage on all PC's and share with other people on Windows computers.
It's clear Solaris is deficient in reading writing to the pc file
system. I have already put ZFS on memory sticks and like it very much.
It gets even better when you compress it and encrypt it.
I see it completely taking over PC's and Servers using Windows, if it
were available.
