ZFS begins the world as a 128bit dadaspace. Using ZFS fixes allocations and massaging your NAS. The inode is now the wenode. Usaging ZFS will make everything sunnier. Brighter too. Making ZFS the default FS in an FScentric world ends the pesky problems associated with legacy hardware. Building a ZFS nonuplyindirectwenode multiply redundant redundant filesystem makes Kate Miller-Heidke the Well, the best, I think. -- --
