Abstract: Systems and methods use a ZFS file system in a Windows-based computing environment without protocol conversion or native ZFS support on Windows-based computing devices. Windows-based computing devices may obtain native Windows-based access to data in a storage volume that is managed by a Unix-based storage management server executing a ZFS volume manager and file system. ZFS clones may be served as logical unit numbers to Windows-based computing devices. The ZFS nature of the accessed storage volume is unbeknownst to the Windows-based machines. This enables Windows-based utilities, applications, and tools executing on a Windows-based computing device to operate upon the data in ZFS-managed space the same as they might have operated on a workspace in an array-created hardware snapshot in the prior art. Users may use storage space from their Windows-based computing devices according to a Windows-based file system such as NTFS. The Windows-based formatting of the contents in the ZFS-managed volumes are unbeknownst to the Unix-based storage management server and to the ZFS volume manager and file system.

Abstract translation: 系统和方法在基于Windows的计算环境中使用ZFS文件系统，而无需在基于Windows的计算设备上进行协议转换或本机ZFS支持。 基于Windows的计算设备可能会获得对由执行ZFS卷管理器和文件系统的基于Unix的存储管理服务器管理的存储卷中的数据的本机基于Windows的访问。 ZFS克隆可以作为基于Windows的计算设备的逻辑单元号。 所访问的存储卷的ZFS性质是基于Windows的机器所不知的。 这使得在基于Windows的计算设备上执行的基于Windows的实用程序，应用程序和工具能够在ZFS管理的空间中操作数据，与在现有技术中的阵列创建的硬件快照中的工作空间上可能操作的数据相同 。 根据基于Windows的文件系统（如NTFS），用户可能会使用其基于Windows的计算设备的存储空间。 基于Windows的ZFS管理卷中内容的格式化对于基于Unix的存储管理服务器和ZFS卷管理器和文件系统是不知道的。
