On stage Wednesday in Washington D.C., Sun Microsystems Inc. CEO Jonathan 
Schwartz revealed that his company's open-source ZFS file system will replace 
Apple's long-used HFS+ in Mac OS X 10.5, a.k.a. "Leopard," when the new 
operating system ships this fall. "This week, you'll see that Apple is 
announcing at their Worldwide Developers Conference that ZFS has become the 
file system in Mac OS X," said Schwartz. 
  ZFS (Zettabyte File System), designed by Sun for its Solaris OS but licensed 
as open-source, is a 128-bit file storage system that features, among other 
things, "pooled storage," which means that users simply plug in additional 
drives to add space, without worrying about such traditional storage parameters 
as volumes or partitions. 
  "[ZFS] eliminates volume management, it has extremely high performance.... It 
permits the failure of disk drives," crowed Schwartz during a presentation 
focused on Sun's new blade servers.
