It sounds like ZFS isn't included in the mainline kernel. Is it on its way in?
Unlikely. There has been a discussion on that in this list, and there
is some concern that ZFS' license (CDDL) is not compatible with the
Linux kernel license (GPL), so never the twain shall be integrated.
You must have missed the part that determined that integrated ZFS is
easily doable via a simple ebuild (they said it didn't even need to be
in an overlay) containing the code to do the integration at compile time.
So, yes, it *could* easily be done without any fear of licensing issues.
The question is, will someone with the knowledge and skills of how to do
it right also have the desire to do the work.
