I remember reading back in 2007-2008 that Apple was interested in bringing ZFS support to Mac OS X, but discussions ended once Oracle purchased Sun. This was a bummer; I would’ve loved ZFS on a Mac.

After a cursory Google search, I found this article:

There were a couple of (iirc read-only) beta ZFS PKGs from Apple in the 10.5 era: https://macintoshgarden.org/forum/looking-zfs-beta-seeds-ye-...


Kind of surprising that the Oracle deal would have killed it given that Jobs and Ellison were such close friends.


They were probably close friends because they weren't business competitors.


Ellison didn't make enough money to buy an island (okay, 80% of one) by being "friends" with anyone :)
