super bummed that zfs's licensing kept macOS from getting any data-checksummed filesystems. intellectual property laws are a plague upon the earth.

@sneak It wasn't ZFS's licensing, it's that Larry Ellison suddenly came into the picture, and Jobs wasn't dumb enough to use anything Ellison could plausibly lawsuit over.
@sneak Pre-acquisition, ZFS on OS X was a sure thing.
@sneak isn't reiserfs in some context close to zfs? I know it doesn't have those wacky snapshots and stuff...

@blobyoumu zfs's snapshots aren't wacky and reiserfs doesn't run natively on osx

@blobyoumu i think the correct solution for forcing zfs (i'm just going to use hfs+ with sha1sums in a file on disk) would be to attach the block device into a local vm, run zol in the vm, and smb share over a bridge back into the host. but i'm not going to bother
