ZFS is Putback!

Well it has finally happened! ZFS has finally been putback into the Nevada Source Tree.

And to quote from a recent blog from Jeff Bonwick, "... and there it goes! 584 files, 92,000 lines of change, 56 patents, 5 years... and there it is. Just like that."

Major congratulations required to Jeff and all the team!

Go to http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/bonwick?entry=zfs_the_last_word_in to read the whole blog.

And keep your eyes on Solaris Express: this will be the first place where you will be able to get ahold of ZFS!

When it is released, you will be able to get this easily through the OpenSolaris website downloads page at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads Just follow the link "Solaris Express: Community Edition", which currently points to build 24, but will soon point to a ZFS-enabled Solaris Express!

Watch out! ZFS could be coming to a system near you very soon.....
