Bringing FreeBSD closer to the business users

ZFS revision 28 in 9-CURRENT

ZFS pool revision 28 has been recently imported into FreeBSD 9-CURRENT. Among others, things to enjoy:

  • Data deduplication
  • RAID triple parity -- RAIDZ3
  • zfs diff command (describes differences between snapshots)
  • zpool split command (splitting mirrored pools)
  • Snapshot holds (e.g. keeping old snapshots when receiving from a source that removed them)
  • zpool import -F (allows to rewind corrupted pool to earlier transaction group)

Expected merge into 8-STABLE: in one month.
