I haven't seen it stand still when Oracle took over Sun. Also, if you do your homework, there is a BSD version floating around, and a Linux version also. To boot, Illumos has the last open source release which brings it to Openindania. So what are you talking about?

Good thing about ZFS is that it allows it without any issues. Unfortunatelly now that we need to get rid of them (because they eat 80% of disk space) it seems to be quite challenging. I've been following this thread. Would it be faster to do the reverse. Copy the 20% of disk then format then move the 20% back.

Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS with Memory Sticks
Constantin Gonzalez wrote: Hi Paul, yes, ZFS is platform agnostic and I know it works in SANs. For the USB stick case, you may have run into labeling issues. Maybe Solaris SPARC did not recognize the x64 type label on the disk (which is strange, because it should...). Did you try making sure that ZFS creates an EFI label on the disk? You can check this by running zpool status and then the devices should look like c6t0d0 without the s0 part. If you want to force this, you can create an EFI label on the USB disk from hand by saying fdisk -E /dev/rdsk/cxtxdx. Hope this helps, Constantin OK, tried some things you said.

[zfs-discuss] ZFS with Memory Sticks
OK, I've been putting off this question for a while now, but it eating at me, so I can't hold off any more. I have a nice 8 gig memory stick I've formated with the ZFS file system. Works great on all my Solaris PC's, but refuses to work on my Sparc processor. So I've formated it on my Sparc machine (Blade 2500), works great there now, but not on my PC's. Re-Formatted it on my PC, doesn't work on Sparc, and so on and so on. I thought it was a file system to go back and forth both architectures. So when will this compatibility be here, or if it's possible now, what is the secret?
