Spilled Beans - ZFS File System in Leopard
Hey everyone! Something as obscure as a file system may be one of the new secret features of Leopard! The ZFS file system from SUN is supposedly a wiz bang new file system that happens to be open source. Anyone know how this affects the price of tea in China? Actually, I want to know why this would make my Mac Life better? (In plain English)

I checked out Sun's web page on this subject. A lot of the benefits seem technical, probably for the power user. But two big points was, unlimited scaling ( so you don't have to wait for the next system upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit to 128 bit ); more efficient access and data transfer; self healing if sectors go bad. Now that last one sounds cool for drive reliability.
