Watch out, ZFS on Linux is not as good as on FreeBSD/Solaris. Just recently there was an issue with data loss. https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/7401

Hi list, we all know why ZFS is not included in RHEL/CentOS distributions: its CDDL license is/seems not compatible with GPL license.
I'm not a layer, and I do not have any strong opinion on the matter. However, as a sysadmin, I found ZFS to be extremely useful, especially considering BTRFS sad state. I would *really* love to have ZFS on Linux more intergrated with current CentOS.
From what I know (and I can go wrong, obviously), while the incompatible licenses prevent CentOS from shipping it, nothing should prevent to have a package for enabling *its repository*, better yet the kmod-enabled one. I was thiking to something as a ZFS SIG, where we can simply issue "yum install zfs-sig" and have the correct kmod-enabled repository enabled.
I searched the list but I did not found anything regarding native ZFS. Any feedback on the matter is welcomed. Thanks.
