As the FSF (Free Software Foundation) claimed that there was a legal incompatibility between the CDDL and the GPL in 2005, Sun's implementation of the ZFS file system couldn't be used as a basis for the development of a module in the Linux kernel, couldn't be merged into the mainline Linux kernel, and Linux distributions generally did not include it as a precompiled kernel module.
After Oracle's Solaris 11 Express release, the OS/Net consolidation (the main OS code) was made proprietary and closed-source, [3] and further ZFS upgrades and implementations inside Solaris (such as encryption) are not compatible with other non-proprietary implementations which use previous versions of ZFS.
ZFS (previously Zettabyte File System) is a file system with volume management capabilities. It began as part of the Sun Microsystems Solaris operating system in 2001. Large parts of Solaris, including ZFS, were published under an open source license as OpenSolaris for around 5 years from 2005 before being placed under a closed source license when Oracle Corporation acquired Sun in 2009–2010.
TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) is a family of network-attached storage (NAS) products produced by iXsystems, incorporating both open-source and commercial software. Based on the OpenZFS file system, TrueNAS runs on FreeBSD as well as Linux and is available under the BSD License.
Bcachefs is a copy-on-write (COW) file system for Linux-based operating systems. Its primary developer, Kent Overstreet, first announced it in 2015, and it was added to the Linux kernel beginning with 6.7. [1] [2] It is intended to compete with the modern features of ZFS or Btrfs, and the speed and performance of ext4 or XFS.
z/OS File System (zFS) (official name: z/OS® Distributed File Service zSeries® File System) is a POSIX-style hierarchical file system for IBM's z/OS operating system for z System mainframes, a successor to that operating system's HFS.
LogFS is a scalable flash filesystem for Linux that works on both raw flash media and block devices, intended to replace JFFS2. YAFFS is a raw NAND flash-specific file system for many operating systems (including Linux). F2FS is a new file system designed for the NAND flash memory-based storage devices on Linux.
