I'm really uncertain now of the future of Illumos and ZFS. I hope there's more push behind these projects as well as BTRFS. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

Since btrfs is an Oracle funded project, I'm real interested to see what happens to both of these filesystems going forward.

As someone who has actually used OCFS2 on a real production system, I will never voluntarily touch another Oracle-written filesystem.

I think the future of Illumos is safe. They've already got a lot of heavy-weighters behind it, ex-Sun/Oracle and others.

Someone still has to fund them...
