ZFS for Mac OS X Breaths New Life
code.google.com
In computing, ZFS is a combined file system
and logical volume manager designed by Sun
Microsystems. The features of ZFS include
data integrity (protection against bit rot,
etc), support for high storage capacities,
integration of the concepts of filesystem
and volume management, snapshots and
copy-on-write clones, continuous integrity
checking and automatic repair, RAID-Z and
native NFSv4 ACLs.
For those (like me) who are clueless on what ZFS is, the wiki page has a good overview: In computing, ZFS is a combined file system and logical volume manager designed by Sun Microsystems.

1) more storage than you could ever possibly use–you won't run out. 2) you can add and remove drives on the fly. 3) you don't have drives you mount, you have pools you can add to and remove from (on the fly). 4) great redundancy/error-checking built in, in all forms.
I'd love to see it on the Mac, officially…

ZFS is really cool. The best things that stood out out to me when I researched it a bit a while ago (though there is so much cool about it) are 1) more storage than you could ever possibly use–you won't run out. 2) you can add and remove drives on the fly. 3) you don't have drives you mount, you have pools you can add to and remove from (on the fly). 4) great redundancy/error-checking built in, in all forms.

As well, only a single commit to the git repo since July. :(

You can add and replace, but you cannot remove drives.
"Breaths new life" is a bit misleading' no? From the project page: "this code project will be used to record issues and ongoing development (if any) of this extension" As well, only a single commit to the git repo since July. :(

Does anyone know if Oracle is still developing ZFS, or just Btrfs? Has the situation changed so that Apple may include it on next iterations of OS X, or are we stuck with HSF+ forever?
