<div dir="auto">If you are able to create the original zfs pool
and filesystem format supported by Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris
(before feature flags), then that should be a useful baseline
which should work for Solaris, Illumos, FreeBSD, and Linux. That
is provided that the OpenZFS implementations are respectful and
do not automatically upgrade the pool version, or veer outside
the bounds of the original specification. OpenSolaris and
Illumos introduced the original feature flags so many of the
feature flags should work with derivative zfs implementations.

<div>Hi,</div>
<div>A file system related generic question:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am looking to keep one of my GPT Partitions on my
disk to be a file system that both Illumos (Solaris) /
FreeBSD and Linux can read. This will be primarily to
store data. I know there's vfat (fat32). Wanna know if
there's anything better (non-MSFTish) out there.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Other than exfat, fat32 what else do we have?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I started using openzfs (which is at version 2.3.3 rn)
on linux. However, there's probably a version difference
with Illumos/OI.</div>
<div>Since, I couldn't complete the OI setup on my machine
yet I don't know what version of zfs we are using on OI. I
am not quite sure if zfs will be a viable option due to
lack of compatible versions (openzfs on linux and ZFS on
illumos).</div>

<p>Hi!</p>
<p>Yes, if you use the "-d" option with zpool create, all of
illumos, Solaris 10+, BSD, Linux with installed ZFS support can
read/write to it.</p>
<p>You are able to enable additional features one by one, whilst
checking if the features are available to all of you favorite OS.</p>
<p>BTDT.</p>
<p>BTW, i've tried a ZFS Package for Windows 1-2 years ago, that
worked in my test case..<br>

</p>
<p>For my camera sd card i use EXFAT, there's a pkg on OI available
(built from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/relan/exfat.git">https://github.com/relan/exfat.git</a> - uses libFUSE)</p>
