ZFS filesystem and storage management for Linux and FreeBSD.

OpenZFS provides a filesystem and volume manager for Linux and FreeBSD. Administrators organize filesystems and block volumes within storage pools and manage them with command-line utilities. Its dataset operations include point-in-time snapshots, writable clones, quotas, and configurable properties, while send and receive streams support transferring full datasets or incremental changes between systems.
