Is there some upstream document about zfsonlinux -> openzfs? Greetings, Maxime.

I’ll try to dig it up, but I want to say about a year ago, right before FreeBSD swapped over to using it (instead of their own fork from the Illumos/OpenSolaris upstream), they changed the organization. -bjc

So it looks like the github repository was renamed as things merged in from FreeBSD, but the ZFSonLinux project is still extant as a Linux-specific resource for ZFS issues: https://zfsonlinux.topicbox.com/groups/zfs-discuss/T13eedc32607dab41/zol-repo-move-to-openzfs I’m ok with dropping this part of the patch. I’d only added it to align the github repo (which is openzfs) with the project home page. I think it still makes sense to do so, but I’m not terribly invested in having this patch applied one way or the other. -bjc

Not sure which home page would be the best (the general cross-platform home page, or the Linux-specific home page), but I'd guess that as someone interested in OpenZFS you would know the best here. Summarised: maybe keep the patch? Greetings, Maxime.

I’m extremely comfortable leaving this up to project leads, depending on what they think is most useful for the overall user base. My thinking on the subject is that the proposed URL is, in general, more useful than the previous one for finding information, aligns with the repository name (and should raise fewer eyebrows as a result), and who knows, maybe some day ZFS is ported to GNU Hurd so the Linux focus would be less appropriate. ;) But right now this is Linux specific, so pointing at Linux specific resources also makes sense. -bjc
