ZFS filesystem

[ddd123]

Hello

We need to access data on ZFS.
Does anybody tried to do that ?

We have tried all version of UFSEXPLORER but none supports the ZFS
but we have found following on their website.





ZFS support in UFS Explorer Standard Access

Starting version 4.3, the UFS Explorer Standard Access product has limited, experimental support of ZFS file system.
This includes access to files on ZFS disk partitions with support of multiple data sets.

Current implementation supports only standard data compression with LZJB algorithm and does not support RAID-Z configurations.

About ZFS: ZFS file system was developed by Sun Microsystems for their Solaris OS and now is reused to implement large corporate storages and NAS systems. Official support of ZFS file system in UFS Explorer products begins from UFS Explorer Standard Access version 4.3 and will be extended to future version of 'Recovery' editions (version 4) products.

I you can have access to an Encase, I think that it support ZFS.

With a system in parallel you can not access this ZFS, for example, installing another Solaris OS?

That may be a problem as RAID-Z (and RAID-Z2) are quite popular, from what I have seen.

Using a Solaris Live DVD / Live USB is one easy way to get access to ZFS filesystems, and images can be downloaded from here:

Other Solaris Live DVDs are also available, created by different organisations from earlier OpenSolaris sources.
