I wasn't saying this is advantage. Of course no file system should
lose your data - it's just that when new file systems show up on
market people do not trust them in general at first - which is
expected precaution.
Part of such perception is Linux - due to different development type
you often get software badly written and tested - try to look at
google how many people lost their data with RaiserFS for example.
The same happened for many people with XFS on Linux.
That's why I thought emphasis on ZFS that it hasn't lost my data even if
it's new-born file system and I've been using it for years (as other
users) is important, especially for people mostly from Linux world.
ps. I really belive development style in Open Solaris is better than
in Linux (kernel).
