Release Notes

Tested with FUSE 2.8.0
State Final release
License CDDL

IMPORTANT NOTICE

That this release has been superseded by 0.6.9. The initial release of this version included a potentially dangerous problem with larger pools that would 'hide' filesystems. Such issues could lead to data loss if unnoticed, which is why it absolutely recommended to upgrade to the 0.6.9 release from this website, if at all possible.

Several distributors have already incorporated this release of ZFS and its dependencies in their distributions:

This release requires FUSE 2.8.0 or higher. For your convenience, there are several built packages available:

  • Fedora 12: already included.
  • Fedora 11: available at the above repository or directly here:
