ZFS has been one of the biggest selling points for Solaris over the last 5 years. There are a huge number of places that use Solaris only for ZFS support. For example, the SmugMug people have written about it a number of times.



ZFS may have been, but not the 128 bit support. I mentioned that there are "admittedly much more relevant features" which are in fact what smugmug likes:

"ZFS is the most amazing filesystem I’ve ever come across. Integrated volume management. Copy-on-write. Transactional. End-to-end data integrity. On-the-fly corruption detection and repair. Robust checksums. No RAID-5 write hole. Snapshots. Clones (writable snapshots). Dynamic striping. Open source software."

I never disputed ZFS being a good file system. I claimed that 128 bit support wasn't a key feature and was in fact a potential waste of time.
