"According to a report by Phoronix, Indian vendor Knowledge
Quest Infotech is working on a native ZFS port to Linux. The
company, whose areas of expertise include the Linux kernel and
cluster file systems, reportedly plans to release the port in
mid-September.
"The problem with ZFS for Linux lies in licence

Phoronix, there are no plans) to integrate ZFS into the kernel
