Wow...! How long has that been available? I also recall something about being able to use the latest/greatest too, but the overlay would have to pull the sources from Oracle...? So, would appreciate comments on what version of ZFS this would pull in, limitations, caveats, dangers, etc... Also, it has been a while since I read anything - what is the current state of BTRFS vs ZFS? Is it stable/mature enough to use for production? What can ZFS do that it cannot? Thanks Neil!
