While on a VCS course on a Symantec site, I was told VxVM is planned
to be open sourced some time in near future. In either case the cost
is a large factor here, VxVM does not come cheap (unless you use VxSF
Basic http://www.symantec.com/business/theme.jsp?themeid=sfbasic which
is free).

I see  VxSF Basic being an immediate competitor to ZFS where the cost
does not count as much.
