My Synology NAS has been hacked by ransomware calling itself Synolocker

I have a dumb question: How are they using ZFS on these? I thought ZFS was incompatible with GPL, which was a stumbling block for implementing it in linux. Don't tell me they're using FUSE.

Or do these NAS machines all run some BSD variant?

Most of these appliances aren't using ZFS. They are using mdadm with ext4.

There's http://zfsonlinux.org/ The ZFS license prohibits it from being distributed as part of the kernel binary, but there is nothing prohibiting source code or a binary for a ZFS kernel module from being distributed separately.

But I have no idea if they use it or not.

You can use it under Linux, but distribution is more involved, at least according to some people.

Use FreeNAS if you want ZFS on a NAS though, it is well supported.
