ZFS -- The Last Word in File Systems
Mark J. Maybee
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
ZFS is Sun Microsystem's new open source file system. It is designed to combine
provable data integrity with immense capacity, simple administration, and high
performance. Developed from scratch over the over the course of five years,
it was first released to the Open Solaris community in November of 2005,
but active development continues both within and outside of Sun. It has been
ported to Mac OS X, OpenBSD, and Linux. ZFS is in wide use, in environments
ranging from large multi-petabyte enterprise-class installations down to
laptops (in-house, Apple has run ZFS on the iPhone). This talk will explore
the features of ZFS that differentiate it from the rest of the file systems
in the industry.
Mark Maybee
received a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Colorado Boulder
in 1994. He has been employed by Sun Microsystems for the last ten years and
was part of the initial ZFS development team. Maybee is currently the lead
engineer for ZFS development at Sun.
Hosted by Dennis Heimbigner.
