I got a good impression from that text what the > advantages are, but I'm too conservative to migrate myself. YMMV. I already read that before I posted my question. Neither by this text, nor by the one in the Wikipedia could I participate in the exitement around ZFS. Ok, so it's a 128Bit FS. Big fat, hairy deal! I couldn't see any advantages in using it instead of FFS (UFS), but I thought I was missing something because porting it would have been somewhat of a hassle and noone would go to all that trouble if it wasn't worth the effort.
