[Leopard新闻]ZFS文件格式将成为Leopard的默认文件系统

Junne

Perhaps overcome with excitement (and forgetting that Apple doesn't like such pre-emptive disclosures), Sun's Jonathan Schwartz announced today at Sun event in Washington D.C. that Apple would be making ZFS "the file system" in Mac OS 10.5 Leopard (video link, requires RealPlayer). In fact, this week you'll see that Apple is announcing at their Worldwide Developer Conference that ZFS has become the file system in Mac OS 10. Rumors of Apple's interest in ZFS began in April 2006, when an OpenSolaris mailing list revealed that Apple had contacted Sun regarding porting ZFS to OS 10. The file system later began making appearances in Leopard builds. ZFS has a long list of improvements over Apple's current file system, Journaled HFS+. More information on ZFS is available at the ZFS homepage and Wikipedia. For live coverage of WWDC (text and photos), you know where to turn.

Sun公司CEO Jonathan Schwartz表示，苹果将使用Sun公司开发的ZFS文件系统作为Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard的默认文件系统，并将在下周举行的WWDC会议上宣布这一消息。 ZFS即Zettabyte File System，是由Sun公司为Solaris 10操作系统开发的文件系统，作为OpenSolaris开源计划的一部分，可以免费使用。ZFS被Sun称为是终极文件系统，它是一款128位文件系统，其支持的存储容量比现有系统大16x10e16倍。可以说，在可预见的未来，ZFS几乎没有可能出现存储空间不足的问题，可以说是无限容量。另外，它还拥有自优化、永远数据一致、管理简单等诸多优点。 Leopard采用ZFS的传言从去年4月已经开始，之后的Mac OS X 10.5测试版中开始出现ZFS文件系统选项，代替目前苹果使用的Journaled HFS+。 ★★★

所谓的终极效果之中，就有再不用担心硬盘上的文件会被损坏，想怎么关机就怎么关机（突然断电对*unix所用的文件系统-日志式-是致命的）。还有，没有必要担心文件系统不支持大容量磁盘了，也没有所谓的单个文件大小的限制了。无论是server还是desktop都是一个福音！
