Ways to contact people
- ZFS experts
- Mailing list
- IRC: #openzfs on freenode (web interface)
- Twitter: @openzfs
- OpenZFS Office Hours: rotating the leader/owner
- Pointers to other mailing lists and repos?
Ongoing work
- Test framework
- One of our goals is to reduce code differences.
- list of platform code differences
- Projects
Implementation documentation
- Links to source code are on the Distributions page
- Architectural/high-level documentation about general OpenZFS concepts
- zfs send
- administrative commands (e.g.
zfs snapshot -r pool/fs@snap) - zfs I/O
- The FreeBSD book has a great chapter on ZFS - this is probably the best overview available for new developers.
Materials on other websites
ZFS On-Disk Specification – Draft (ZFSOnDiskFormat.pdf, Sun Microsystems, Inc., 2006-08)
- sometimes known as the ZFS On-Disk Format document
- outdated, but "hasn't changed that much, and backwards compatibility dictates that it's still useful as a base of knowledge"; "It's the closest thing we have to a comprehensive overview – and it's still mostly applicable, it just doesn't cover newer stuff … like SAs".
Examining ZFS On-Disk Format Using mdb and zdb (2008-06-28)
- a forty-three minute video of Max Bruning presenting to the OpenSolaris Developer Conference in Prague.
The source tour (archive) describes the various subcomponents in ZFS.
