There's some speculation that Apple would be better off developing a
new filesystem suited to the nature of its core products: flash memory
in the 10-100 GB range for iPods and iPhones, and SSDs for laptops as
they get more affordable. Once we take away the assumption of ferrous
oxide on a spinning disc, lots of things are presumably in play, and
ZFS' advantages may not apply. More at:

Maybe. But in the meantime, for the next two years, we're left with
HFS+. I have at least one customer that runs a large repository of media
that are used by a web application on Mac OS X (very bad idea, in my
opinion, anyway it's up to him) and I don't see any SSD in that place
for many years. And the blog, correctly, says that one FS doesn't fit
both roles, the "data center" and the "exchange media". So, what would
Apple be working on? Back to the original topic, we don't know at all.
PS Reading that blog I've just learned that I'm "psyched".
