No ZFS For Leopard After All
 |
We reported last week that Sun’s Zettabyte File System would be making an appearance in Apple’s upcoming OS X Leopard. Who would be to disagree? Word came straight from Sun’s CEO. Well, it turns out that ZFS is not happening after all, and Leopard will be sticking with a version of HFS+.
The big question is, was ZFS ever slated to be included with Leopard? The CEO of Sun seemed quite confident in saying so. Was Steve Jobs rubbed the wrong way with his ‘leaked announcement’ and in turn decided to pull it from the OS, or was the Sun CEO looking to increase his stock?
During an interview with InformationWeek, Brian Croll, senior director of product marketing for the Mac OS, said, “ZFS is not happening,” when asked whether Sun’s Zettabyte File System would be in Leopard. Instead, Leopard would use Apple’s current hierarchical file system, called HFS+. The Apple file system was first introduced in 1998 in Mac OS 8.0.
