Dunno if OpenIndiana features them, but maybe you can have your patches integrated there. Regards, raichoo OpenSolaris came with dtrace-enabled Ruby 1.8.

If you can get DTrace back into Ruby, that would be great and much appreciated. @bryanl the Mac OS X dtrace has disabled probes for certain comercial products, so in a sense it is limited compared to the Solaris one Just for the record, FreeBSD also has dtrace. And there is a Ruby gem allowing you to write Ruby programs: http://ruby-dtrace.rubyforge.org/ Aaron thank you for doing this!

Linux got SystemTap, then DTrace. I wonder when some of those ZFS ideas will start crossing over. @bryanl ironically, DTrace originated on Solaris. Linux got SystemTap, then DTrace.

You don't get dtrace with linux or windows do you? And is the OS X implementation as good as the Solaris one? I thought I remembered that someone went down this path before.
