I'd usually agree with that, but - if we have an opportunity to make
users love ZFS even more, why not at least investigate it.
A perfect example might be exactly what I did on one occasion, where I
copied a bunch of photos off a CF card. I then reformatted the CF card,
and cleaned up the the crappy photos on my hard disk, but unfortunately,
(and stupidly) removed all of them. My photos were gone forever. :(
Even a snapshot would not have helped here...
I know; stupid stupid stupid, but it happens, and I would have *really*
liked to have been able to recover those photos...
A salvage / undelete would have been gold.

Yes - Snapshots are great, but how often do you run a snapshot? Every 60
seconds? That's going to get real ugly if you have a filesystem per
user...
I'm sure every 15 minutes is suffient, if the worker doesn't have a
slight
penalty he will won't ever learn to be careful.
