Also, "another open file system like it" ... "anything like it to protect my
data..."

Go use Linux, and BTRFS.  It is GPL, and guess what.  Also developed by
Oracle.  But it's GPL, and it's included by default in many of the latest
linuxes.

 I hope someone builds another open file system just like it.  I could never 
find anything like it to protect my data like it does.

I have to reply to this.

While Oracle may not seem responsive, they are innovating on the zfs still.  I 
haven't seen it stand still when Oracle took over Sun.

Also, if you do your homework, there is a BSD version floating around, and a 
Linux version also.  To boot, Illumos has the last open source release which 
brings it to Openindania.

So what are you talking about?

It is sad that such a lovely file system is now in Oracle's unresponsive hands. 
 I hope someone builds another open file system just like it.  I could never 
find anything like it to protect my data like it does.
