ZFSin is a port of the OpenZFS filesystem to Windows, implemented as a native kernel driver providing pooled storage, checksums, snapshots, and compression. This repository is the old port and has been superseded by the openzfsonwindows/openzfs repository.

Use cases

  • mount zfs pools on windows
  • zfs filesystem driver for windows 10
  • self-healing storage with checksums on windows
  • zfs snapshots and shadow copies on windows
  • use zfs drive letters in file explorer

When to choose

  • you need ZFS features like pooled storage, integrity verification, or snapshots on Windows
  • you want to maintain or study the legacy Windows ZFS port

When to avoid

  • you are starting a new project - use the newer openzfsonwindows/openzfs repo instead
  • you need a supported, actively developed ZFS-on-Windows implementation
  • you need a filesystem on Linux, macOS, or BSD where native OpenZFS exists
