The portable nature and advanced features of ZFS led FreeBSD, Linux, and even Apple developers to start porting ZFS to their operating systems and by 2008, FreeBSD shipped with ZFS in the 7.0 release. ZFS was revolutionary for completely decoupling the file system from specialized storage hardware and even a specific computer platform.

I will do my best to clarify what exactly these two terms refer to.ДЇrom its inception, вЂњ ZFSвЂќ has referred to the вЂњZettabyte File SystemвЂќ developed at Sun Microsystems and published under the CDDL Open Source license in 2005 as part of the OpenSolaris operating system. YouвЂ™ve probably noticed that this blog and the FreeNAS blog refer to вЂњZFSвЂќ and вЂњOpenZFSвЂќ seemingly at random when talking about the amazing file system at the heart of FreeNAS and every storage product that iXsystems sells. I admit that we geeks tend to get caught up in the nuts and bolts of enterprise storage and overlook the more obvious questions that users might have. Our Senior Analyst clears up what ZFS and OpenZFS refer to and how they differ. YouвЂ™ve probably heard us say a mix of вЂњZFSвЂќ and вЂњOpenZFSвЂќ and an explanation is long-overdue.
