Oracle ZFS man calls for Big Red to let filesystem upstream into Linux


Oracle storage architect has called for Oracle to make the ZFS filesystem a first class part of Linux and says conversations have taken place within Big Red to consider the possibility.
Speaking at the OpenZFS Developer Summit , Maybee said the decline of on-premises storage means ZFS' future inside Oracle is uncertain. Oracle's recent decision to spend less time on Solaris development also means ZFS needs less work, he said.
While the filesystem underpins Oracle's software-as-a-service and platform-as-a-service, it's invisible to users.
Maybee thinks ZFS is good enough that it deserves to be widely available, hence his wish that “What I would like to see happen inside Oracle is for ZFS becomes a core part of Linux, not an add-on part of Linux.”
