another article found via lwn.net: ZFS on Linux: It's alive A hot feature from OpenSolaris is taking a weird but working path to Linux inclusion
By Don Marti, LinuxWorld.com, 06/18/07 An interesting (to me) tidbit from this article was: """ ..Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE), introduced in the 2.6.14 kernel released in October 2005, enables Linux to use filesystems that run as ordinary processes. ... ..one sysadmin, Chris Samuel, has posted benchmarks that clock only about half the speed of another Linux filesystem, XFS. NTFS-3g, however, has results comparable to a native Linux filesystem, so "at least NTFS-3g does show that good performance is quite possible for a FUSE filesystem," Samuel says in an e-mail interview.
