[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS on Openindiana vs ZFS on oracle linux

[Andrew Gabriel]

That would be any Illumos-based distro, FreeBSD (and FreeNAS), Ubuntu, 
and maybe Gentoo.

I looked on the Oracle Linux web pages and blog, and there's no mention 
of ZFS anywhere.
The Oracle Linux folks were very anti ZFS because they developed BTRFS 
and saw ZFS as a competitor, although I think the BTRFS development team 
is now mainly at Facebook.
