zfs … Ok i’m jealous

By geoffoc

If you’ve ever built large filesystems on linux with hundreds of disks using ext3 and LVM you will appreciate the very nice way zfs works on opensolaris.   Having had a play with zfs – I am jealous.

If you would like to see more on zfs, the following 3 videos are an excellent presentation and demonstration of zfs.  Thanks to Bill and Jeff and Sun for making this available.
