ZFS on Mac how does it work?

[VinylxScratches]

I'm not sure how it's possible for a file system to be ported on another OS? Wouldn't things in OS X prevent from working right? Is it possible for ZFS to be ported to Windows?

Filesystem drivers are just drivers like any other and the filesystems themselves are just highly complicated methods for storing data. There's nothing really OS specific in most cases.

ZFS could probably be ported to Windows, but it would probably be a lot more work since Windows isn't unix-like at all.
