ZFS is out-of-tree kernel module. It *will* break sooner or later. Every out-of-tree module does. > Which > kernel version is ZFS based on/for? [1] tells us that ZFS on Linux verion 0.6.3 supports kernels 2.6.26 - 3.16. > Btrfs wouldn't let me do RAID-5 --- perhaps 3.2 kernels are too old for > that? A correct guess. A recommended minimum is kernel 3.14 - [2]. But, ZFS won't allow you to make a conventional RAID5 either :) > They need to get these license issues fixed ... Back in the old days CDDL was chosen by Sun especially so that this license issue would *never* be fixed. Currently Oracle could re-license ZFS to anything they want, including GPL-compatible license, but why would *they* do it?
