An overview of the forthcoming changes to the OpenZFS Project, and how FreeBSD will interact with the OpenZFS Project.
This talk will discuss:
How the OpenZFS project has changed
New problems as ZFS has matured (deprecation policy)
How the OpenZFS project is working to reduce the differences across platforms (command line switches, NFS interoperability)
Interoperability improvements (feature flag 'compatibility' groups)
New procedures to prevent divergence and coordinate development across platforms (reserving flags, wider discussion before names for features/flags are decided)
The monthly ZFS Leadership Call
Then switch gears and cover FreeBSD specific issues:
The switch to ZoL as upstream
Why we are making the change
What we get out of it
How it is better for all of OpenZFS
Status report
ZoL is OpenZFS, not Linux
There is no LinuxKPI in ZFS (kill the FUD)
What has OpenZFS done for me lately
Then an overview of upcoming changes and features in ZFS. |
