The Linux VFS is far from being optimal. I would guess that the real |
| 12 |
reason for not starting a ZFS port for Linux is the Linux VFS. |

The problem with Linux is that important external interfaces are broken |
| 15 |
with every new release but that internal kernel interfaces are not evolved. |
| 16 |
Sun claims e.g. that the changes in the Solaris kernel to allow to support |
| 17 |
a full blown CIFS in the kernel have been bigger than than the ZFS code |
| 18 |
size before the change. |

If Linux does not evolve the Linux VFS layer, these battles will never end. |
