> In order to continue the development in a reasonable speed, we stop conforming to the specification of ZFS. As such, we can no longer call it a ZFS implementation.

They have their valid reasons, but it's a shame, because an implementation of the very complex ZFS filesystem in Rust would have been a great thing to have. Not to mention the ability to mount redox zfs images with illumos or FreeBSD or ZOL.



TFS will be mountable on any OS with FUSE - Linux, BSD, illumos, and OS X


Well, there's the problem of testing the implementation on every OS.


I'm also disheartened by the description of TFS's layering. It seems like they go with block level encryption instead of something with authentication.
