The ZFSonlinux project from LLNL looks promising (native mode kernel implementation, pool version 28), although the version that supports mountable filesystems is still in the RC stage. I would want some solid testing before deploying in a backup system.
Hi Nataraj:
Thanks. I had not seen this one. It does look more promising than the zfs-fuse package.
As much as I could deduce, Btrfs outperforms ZFS, and it is at the moment only missing btrfsck (in development). And it supports (almost) all features.
I was really hot for ZFS, but I have seen one thorough test with various sizes of data and in some cases Btrfs outperformed ZFS, but I cleaned my Firefox cache and history for the first time in at least a year :( and I can not find it now.
Btrfs is pushed and sponsored by Oracle, for their uses, and since ZFS is also theirs, I guess they will implement all ZFS's good featuries.
