Open or not open, that is the stupid question.

My friend who use Mac OS X, and told me that the Mac OS X support ZFS and DTrace. It surprises me! ZFS and DTrace is the new feature of Solaris 10, of course, OpenSolaris also has these two features, too. So I try the ZFS and DTrace on Mac immediately. After test, I have the two following conclusions. 1. Mac support ZFS but for read only, so Mac cannot modify ZFS. That's so pity. The primary reason that I love ZFS just because I can have snapshot, clone. Readonly, is not the impression that I know about ZFS. 2. In OpenSolaris, it has over 60K probes(use command to check how many probes your system has, "/usr/sbin/dtrace -l | wc -l"), so I can detect the system behavior. But when I use the command, I found out the Mac OS only have just over 20K probes, just the 1/3 of OpenSolaris. And I try the D-script, it does work. That's a good gift that all Mac fans should to cherish. Really, because DTrace can be used for online debug, performance and you do not need to modify...
