OpenZFS Merged to FreeBSD
This is only peripherally related to this great news, and I apologize if this makes me a wet blanket to ask, but I figure someone here will know the answer:<p>I went back to read some ZFS roadmap documentation from the Before (Oracle) Times this winter, and was reminded why my outlook for ZFS was initially rosier.<p>I was super excited about ZFS because if and when it got the ability to add new hard drives to an existing volume, then we had something I&#x27;ve always wanted: a straightforward way to grow a filesystem without having to tear it down and rebuild it from scratch.<p>That was still listed in future enhancements, shortly before Sun started to fall apart. Does anyone know where we are on that? Did that functionality get painted into a corner by other design concerns?<p>It&#x27;s in that category of things that I might not use that much, but family and customers could use the hell out of and it would simplify my life just knowing it exists. I feel we are all lesser for that never making it off of the drawing board.
