    Irrational hatred of GPL not in slightest and AFAIK Sun wanted to compete with Linux.
    Disgruntled engineers can say anything, but such statements are not credible. Unless you can Danese Cooper's statements from those of a disgruntled engineer, they have no credibility.

    So far, I have only seen you regurgitate FUD. This raises the question of whether software that benefits from this FUD has any technical merit. If you care about promoting your own preferences in software, I suggest that you stop spreading FUD about everything else. It reflects poorly on your preferences.

      Look i came here to explain background of ZFS creation thats all and frankly im not interested in FUD-ing your effort which has very little to do with Suns politics.

        Nah, this is just history repeating itself.
        There will always be some "gift from the gods OMG super ultimate filesystem" that will make everything else fall to their knees in its absolute superiority in every way.

        Last time it was reiserfs. Then hans reiser went to prison for murdering his mail order wife.
        Now its zfs.

        That's all. zfs is nothing special. Just another overly complex pile of code that will break the world.

          I have to say I am very interested in ZFS but this post of yours worries me enough to sign up and question you.
          After looking in to ZFS for a few weeks I have come across names and also came across these relating to you in-particular:

          gmane.org is your first and best source for all of the information you’re looking for. From general topics to more of what you would expect to find here, gmane.org has it all. We hope you find what you are searching for!


          It seems strange you would criticise others of regurgitating FUD when you yourself are part of a Gentoo project which sells itself (or benefits as you say) from nothing but FUD but when faced by other technical people at a talk, your fellows back-pedal like crazy and crawl in to a corner from what I saw.

          How can I, as someone who is now loosing interest in ZFS because of yourself being a hypocrite trust all these things great amazing things you say about ZFS? Why should I use or be more interested in ZFS over Btrfs if Btrfs is benefiting from FUD (as it seems you may be implying).

          I don't mean to pick you out, but you seem to be passionate and vocal about ZFS but some things you say, your attitude and agenda are very worrying, morally.

            Amplidata's object storage system (a dss), looks to be pretty impressive. There's a report they commissioned that gave them a "15 9s" data reliability. Bitspread seems an interesting way to handle the problem.
            Also, you might want to keep in mind that ryao has a pretty strong reason to be a booster for zfs. It's not clear that valerie has a similar reason to be disingenuous about zfs.

              Well, to be fair, at least zfs isn't named after its developer, so even if the zfs developer decides to one day murder their wife/husband/loveslave, it probably won't taint the reputation of the entire filesystem.

                It's a shame that people blamed the filesystem for what he did. Reiser4 is really good I hear.

                  Would you elaborate on what that reason is? It cannot be money. So far, all of my contributions to ZFS have been as a volunteer and that only income that I have derived from them is a copy of Solaris Internals that someone gave me.

                    Also, the post you're linking to can pretty much be summed up to "ZFS has existed longer", bringing up things like documentation and length of testing. Those things will always be true, and by that logic we should never develop anything new.
                    I asked Matthew Ahrens about Valerie Aurora's contributions to early ZFS development. It turns out that she was part of early ZFS development, but her contributions were small. We do not have access to whatever internal repository was used for ZFS development before it moved into Open Solaris to see what she wrote, but it is likely that little, if any, of her work is present in the modern ZFS code.

                    This is not to discredit Valerie's opinions, but they should not be considered to be those of a ZFS developer. She has no significant connection to what is known to be ZFS today.
