Hi, Thanks for posting information about this port here. Just to add few points:
* Currently we are planning to do a closed beta for this port, which is based on b121, we will be doing a proper release around end of this year, which will be based on latest build b141. If you are interested in being part of beta, then please contact dars...@kqinfotech.com. * Source code will be made available with release. Our binary releases will be for people who would like to directly use. With source release you can build it for any distro as long as your kernel version is not deviated too far. * Regarding licensing, there are some modules which contain the core ZFS code are CDDL, there are some modules which are GPL. * This work is done on top of work that Brian has done at LLNL and released at http://github.com/behlendorf/zfs/wiki. Our work is still based on his release zfs-0.4.9. But we will be moving to zfs-0.5.0 before public release. That will take us to b141. * We will be providing paid support for our binary releases. We are expecting that ZFS on Linux becomes a viable choice for those who would like to use it in production environment. At the same time, it will be open source, so that it can evolve as community. We understand that it is going to be long journey. This is our first step in that direction. Regards, Anurag.
