Hello All,
I am building a fileserver to store ripped movies, cds, etc on, to be 
used also as a home media center connected to tv. i'm going to use 1TB 
drives and was wondering if i should stick with ufs, or migrate to zfs. 
i've read about the zfs many times on the freebsd wiki, and it seems 
like a good choice. looking for pros and cons of each.
thanks,
Michael
