"Zettabyte File System" is the formal, expanded name of the file system and 
"ZFS" is its abbreviation. In most Sun manuals, the name is expanded at first 
use and the abbreviation used the rest of the time. Though I was surprised to 
find that the Solaris ZFS System Administration Guide, which I would consider 
the main source of ZFS information, doesn't seem to have "Zettabyte" anywhere 
in it. Anyway, both names are official and correct, but since "Zettabyte" is 
such a mouthful, "ZFS" is what gets used most of the time.

HTH.
