Please also note that ZFS is much more than a marketing thing. It's one
of the killer utilities from SUN. Heres why:
* No fsck utility. On a power outage, no need to input the root password
for FS system maintenance. No need to buy that UPS for home.
* Seamless FS+Volume/RAID Manager in one. FS+md+LVM in the Linux world is
a bit clunky and they don't know/talk to each other.
* Transparent FS Compression. Currently, ZFS, NTFS and reiser4 is capable
and other less popular FS. It matters to me since compression will save
me 200Gb of space. It does consume a bit of CPU cycles, but if you have
lots of memory, it actually will speedup IO Read/RW.
* Integrated Snapshots capability. In Linux, you need FS+LVM to do snapshots.
* FS Checksumming. Means data corruption detection.
And a lot of other reasons. The above is the reason why I'm moving my document
repository at home from Linux to Solaris/OpenSolaris solely because of ZFS.
