Wow. That is an interesting read. ZFS definitel sounds good.
Is anything like that in the works for Linux?
Sadly, between licensing incompatibilities and Andrew Morton's steadfast
refusal to consider ZFS due to the fact that it "violates" the layering
principles of Linux's storage architecture, we'll likely not see ZFS
available for Linux any time soon.
If you absolutely *must* have a non-Solaris port, *BSD is probably going
to have to be your answer.

"I'm happy to inform that the ZFS file system is now part of the FreeBSD
operating system. ZFS is available in the HEAD branch and will be
available in FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE as an experimental feature."
I believe DragonFlyBSD is also porting.
Personally, I'd go with a real Solaris install. Having real QA run
against a filesystem is a good thing.
