The OpenZFS project is aimed at bringing together individuals and companies using ZFS and working on its improvements, as well as making ZFS more widely used and developed in a true open source manner.[1][2]

OpenZFS brings together developers from the illumos, Linux, FreeBSD and OS X platforms, and a wide range of companies.[1][2] High-level goals are:

  • to raise awareness of the quality, utility, and availability of open source implementations of ZFS
  • to encourage open communication about ongoing efforts to improve open source ZFS
  • to ensure consistent reliability, functionality, and performance of all distributions of ZFS.

Illumos, which derived from OpenSolaris, provides upstream source code for other ZFS implementations.[1] The OpenZFS site lists differences between the illumos ZFS codebase and other open source implementations of ZFS.[3]. To ease sharing of code, OpenZFS is strategically reducing the platform-related differences.

Founder members of OpenZFS include Matt Ahrens, one of the main architects of ZFS.
