The preview updates a previous build released on June 26, 2007.<\/p>\n<p>In the release notes, Apple confirms that the original release of Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) will only offer Read-Only ZFS. As a result, no ZFS pools or filesystems can be modified or created under 10.5.0. This developer&#8217;s preview enables full read\/write capability, including the creation\/destruction of ZFS pools and filesystems.<\/p>\n<p>ZFS is described as &#8220;a fundamentally new approach to data management. We&#8217;ve blown away 20 years of obsolete assumptions, eliminated complexity at the source, and created a storage system that&#8217;s actually a pleasure to use.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The initial version of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is rumored to be released on October 26th, 2007. It&#8217;s unclear when Leopard will incorporate full Read\/Write ZFS support, but it seems clear that Apple is working on adding this functionality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Apple  seems to be taking a strategic approach to a lot of things lately. Their consumer electronics work almost flawlessly, and their  Laptops are so much nicer than PC&#8217;s, could they be taking baby steps into the storage marketplace?  Can they build a sustainable enterprise storage business at consumer electronics price points?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.cnet.com\/8301-13505_1-9792528-16.html\">Also this is interesting<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\"><img width='1' height='1' src='https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/tracker\/11084229-4449739440235356779?l=zerowait.blogspot.com' alt='' \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Apple up to?
