The US Department of Energy commissioned them to port ZFS to Linux quite a long time ago[0], which is the foundation of the current ZFS on Linux codebase. Please do some research before actually saying things.Might be good if you did also :). Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is a US Government/Department of Energy laboratory that UC Berkeley has a hand in managing. It was not founded by the University of California but came out of the post Manhatten project to build the hydrogen bomb. The US DOE did not commission the lab to make the port. The port was done as part of a project to have a large scale filesystem work for certain computer clusters. That work got special permission from Sun but those permissions look to be sealed. Just because a port was done and then released does not mean that Lawrence Livermore is using it in any large way etc. There are thousands of projects that come out of these labs which maybe 3-20 students, grad students and phd's worked on but aren't in any use. Most of them will get that file attached to them which doesn't mean that LLNL sactioned it, DOE commission it etc etc. It just means that it was done at the lab as part of some project and the law requires that the file is attached to it.LLNL is still actively involved in the ZFS on Linux project, so they are still doing something with it
that don't make them to a general purpose Linux distibution which as the whole point of "who is "Lawrence Livermore?"
