Unless they changed some stuff, parts of ZFS aren't GPLv2-compliant (it was developed under Sun's CDDL), so you really put it in the kernel without some legal issues. You can use it safely under FUSE, but it'll be slower than as a kernel module. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - - - - Consciousness: that annoying time between naps. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
