> (which was Oracle's ZFS competitor that seems to be largely abandoned although I see commits in the kernel changelog periodically)

Under heavy development, officially supported by most of the major commercial distros, and still designated by Linus as the ext* replacement as the standard Linux filesystem.



I'm curious where the idea that it's largely abandoned comes from. This isn't the first time I've heard it, but each time I've heard it and looked, the project looks far from dead or abandoned.


It seems to be a talking point amongst folks who want everyone to ignore Sun (and subsequently Oracle's) determination to keep ZFS out of Linux. If there's a healthy btrfs project then the constant stream of suggestions Linux distros should just ignore the huge legal problems associated with bundling ZFS seems like a completely insane idea.
