i havent confirmed on my build at home, but another source did confirm this for me. Disk utility has other changes as well
I paid the $500 annual ADC select subscription fee. My home machine is where that seed applies
This view confuses me. You're on a rumours site, where do you think this insider information comes from? Most are probably from people who signed NDAs.
The only other ways really of getting rumours are educated guesses (sometimes accurate, but not usually very specific) and Time magazine leaks
(By the way, I only notice people mention NDAs when we're talking about OS X. NDAs would likely apply to virtually any rumour we hear about, hardware or software. It always seemed like people make the association between NDA and OS X ever since those developers got sued for leaking builds.)
Which means you agreed to the NDA and shouldn't be talking about the seed... that was my point.
Like me... I have seed access and agreed to the NDA.
I am trying to encourage folks to not break it (in this case I know the individual has seed access and agreed to the NDA terms). Folks casually breaking it is one of the reasons we don't get access to some of the new features until very late in the release cycle...
Right, but by being on a rumours site you seem to be implying you want people to break their NDA. Unless you only object to "casually breaking" the NDA, though I'm not sure what the difference is.
Hehe, you missed my witty attempt.... in case I was too vague, I mixed the hemispherical seasons....*sigh* ....my humor is too left field. Until macrumors.com gets a .au at the end, the context will be US seasons
I have to admit I don't really know the difference between ZFS and the current file system, but I've heard/read that ZFS rules, so it sounds stellar to me!
Hmm.......Australians arent real smart are they. Oh well, thats why we Americans control the modern world and make the big decisions that take care of the smaller folk

Yup, we sur ar dum.

Like wars and stuff
ok could someone explain to me what is ZFS and the difference that is from the current HFS and HFS+?
so basically the difference is that ZFS can hold more information (2 EB) and that its 128bit and the HFS is only 64bit and can hold less information (2 GB)?
Huh? I guess you are comparing HFS against XFS not HFS plus against XFS. Mac OS X uses HFS plus as its default filesystem.
HFS+ (HFS plus) supports a maximum file size of 8 EiB [1], maximum volume size is in general unlimited (requires scaling of allocation block size which increases wasted space for small files) and in general an unlimited number of files and files per folder (only limited by blocks available on disk).
XFS supports a maximum file size of 8 EiB, maximum volume size of 16 EiB [2] and in general an unlimited number of files and files per folder (only limited by blocks available on disk).
[1] Wikipedia says 16 EiB but I believe it is wrong unless they recovered the 64th bit during some revision to HFS+.
[2] Wikipedia says 8 EiB but I believe it is wrong.
Oops yeah folks are talking about ZFS
So for ZFS we are looking at 16 EiB for max file size and file system (size) and it has the concept of volume management considered at the file system level which is something that HFS+ doesn't have. The later allows much more dynamic file systems that can grow and shrink as new disks/partitions are added as well as move between disks.
Also it has the concept of snapshoting at the file allocation block level which is a nice feature (most snapshoting happens at the disk block-level).
