OpenZFS is an open-source implementation of the ZFS file system and volume manager initially developed by Sun Microsystems for the Solaris operating system and now maintained by the OpenZFS Project. It supports features like data compression, data deduplication, copy-on-write clones, snapshots, and RAID-Z. It also supports the creation of virtual devices, which allows for the creation of file systems that span multiple disks.
One of the capabilities of OpenZFS is self-healing. The file system can detect and correct errors while in use, without the need for a dedicated file system checker. This means that it can be used in mission-critical applications that require high availability.
OpenZFS is widely used in enterprise and data center environments, as well as in consumer devices like network-attached storage (NAS) devices. It is available for many operating systems, including Linux, FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows (through third-party solutions). OpenZFS is licensed under the CDDL (Common Development and Distribution License), which allows for both open-source and commercial use.
Founding members of OpenZFS include Matt Ahrens, one of the main architects of ZFS.[4] In 2020, the code-bases of OpenZFS and ZFS on Linux were merged and released as OpenZFS 2.0. This release brought features and performance enhancements from the fast-developing ZFS on Linux, to other platforms such as FreeBSD.[5][6][7]
