That's why I'm looking at btrfs. ZFS is great, it does all I want it to. But it is not in the kernel, which is not a major issue. More important is that it is based on an old version of ZFS, later versions are still closed source. That's a shame, because they support neat things like encryption (yet another separate layer got rid of) and it means ZFS on Linux can't really go anywhere beyond bug fixes and minor tweaks. -- Neil Bothwick There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot.
