The technology was initially expected to be a highlight of Snow Leopard, for instance providing image-based backups, and eliminating the need for drive partitions. Hints that ZFS had been removed came in June however, and the technology is nowhere to be fou... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/26/sour.negotiations.may.be.to.blame/ Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/10/23/company.may.be.working.on.its.own.alternative/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/macnn/news/0806/zfs.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Despite previous efforts to bring support for the ZFS file-system to Mac OS X, Apple has dropped the project.

Overshadowed by some of the more headline=friendly developments such as improved multicore support, OpenCL and 'Grand Central', ZFS support could turn out to be one of the most... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/06/23/zfs.in.snow.leopard/ Mon, 23 Jun 2008 08:55:00 GMT
