Native ZFS on Linux

You may know that I use ZFS through FUSE on my Linux boxes. FUSE is slow on write, and sometimes not stable (I haven't got any problems byt I have seen others have problems using ZFS-FUSE as a /home filesystem).

Nowadays things seems to change slowly. Two groups started to port ZFS to Linux. You can find it on http://zfsonlinux.org/ and http://zfs.kqinfotech.com/.

The first one doesn't have Posix layer yet but arrives in the near future (in months) the secon one seem usable (in a semi public beta).

So we can expect changes in the near future. As soon as something working arriver I'll on it and blog about my experiments.
