Re: native ZFS on linux

[Kevin Thomas <axel2078@gmail.com>]

I had trouble registering with KQstor's site so I couldn't download the source code to build it, but I was able to get it from http://zfsonlinux.org.  They have great how-to documentation on it as well and they show you which versions of Linux it has been verified to work with.  I use Fedora 14 and it was on the list.  I tried the newer RC1 source code packages and I had problems compiling the source package for zfs.  I tried the 0.5.2 packages and they compiled and installed fine. Those are supposedly the ones that KQstor created.

Apparently a company called KQstor has managed to make a successful port to Linux that's native.....it's supported in the Linux kernel, so no need to rely on FUSE. Someone in a FreeNAS forum that I frequent said that he downloaded their source for it and installed it in Ubuntu and it's working great so far. I think this is pretty exciting! You can get more info about it here. http://www.kqstor.com/
