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.
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.
Oracle ZFS is Oracle's proprietary implementation of the ZFS file system and logical volume manager for Oracle Solaris. ZFS is a registered trademark belonging to ...
MDTs and OSTs currently use either an enhanced version of ext4 called ldiskfs, or ZFS/DMU for back-end data storage to store files/objects [85] using the open source ZFS-on-Linux port. [86] The client mounts the Lustre filesystem locally with a VFS driver for the Linux kernel that connects the client to the server(s).
The hope was due to Stratis configuration daemon being in userland, it would more quickly reach maturity versus the years of kernel level development of file systems ZFS and Btrfs. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is built upon enterprise-tested components LVM and XFS with over a decade of enterprise deployments and the lessons learned from System Storage ...
Lustre Cluster filesystem will use FUSE to allow it to run in userspace, so that a FreeBSD port is possible. [11] However, the ZFS-Linux port of Lustre will be running ZFS's DMU (Data Management Unit) in userspace. [12] MinFS: MinFS is a fuse driver for Amazon S3 compatible object storage server.
Proxmox Backup uses a client-server model where the server stores the backup data. The client tool works on most modern Linux systems. The software is installed bare-metal with an ISO image, which includes management tools and a web-based GUI. Administrators can manage the system via a Web browser or a command-line interface (CLI).
LizardFS is an open source distributed file system that is POSIX-compliant and licensed under GPLv3. [3] [4] It was released in 2013 as fork of MooseFS. [5]LizardFS is also offering a paid technical support (Standard, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus) with possibility of configurating and setting up the cluster and active cluster monitoring.
