Version numbers were replaced by feature flags to differentiate OpenZFS from Oracle ZFS and to allow developers to decide which features to create and integrate into their OS-specific port. Pull requests for bug fixes and new features would be managed by the Illumos team.
In 2013, the OpenZFS project was created to coordinate cross-platform development with a goal of providing a single common repository for OS-independent code.
#OPENZFS 2.0 DEBIAN CODE#
Over time, the Illumos ZFS code was ported to many operating systems, including FreeBSD in 2007 and Linux in 2008. When Oracle bought Sun and ended development of OpenSolaris, some developers, including many of the original ZFS developers, created Illumos, a fork of the last open source version of Sun’s operating system that included ZFS, so that open source development could continue. ZFS was originally developed at Sun Microsystems and released under an open source license as part of OpenSolaris. To understand the need for a 2.0, we need to look at a bit of ZFS history. We wrote some more about ZFS 2.0 in the past in the following article: Getting Started with OpenZFS 2.0 You might be wondering: “I thought OpenZFS did feature flags, not versions, so what is up with the 2.0?” You may have heard rumblings that it is based on (gasp!) Linux and wonder what that is all about.
You may know that FreeBSD 13.0 shipped with OpenZFS 2.0.
