Ive heard that WinFS is a filesystem that has some kind of database? I didnt understand the advantages because I havent read about it, but it is the best thing since sliced bread according to MS. My question is, because WinFS database is running on top of NTFS, could a similar thing be done for ZFS? Implement a database running on top of ZFS, that has similar functionality as WinFS? (I never understood the advantages of having a database on top of NTFS, maybe it would be pointless for ZFS? Can someone knowledgeable give some input to my question?)
