[9fans] ZFS?

Does anyone have experience with Sun's ZFS?  It appears to have a number 
of appealing features, including a few shared with fossil/venti.

Now now, no need to dive into a hole and cover your ears...

After reading and seeing the 'flash' demo on ZFS, I just can't forget  
a little experience at a w3c conference years ago with a Sun employee  
(at the time, he left shortly to form a company named after a drum):

   "Java is 100% buzz-word compliant."

Too bad Guido didn't get more attention at that conference... the  
Python presentations ran circles around the Java options at the time.

But that dates me.

Alas, I just want universal (true multi-platform) archival services  
at a decent price that doesn't make the workflow more cumbersome.

Yes, it has some nice ideas - however I don't see it being used in a
large scale rollout without some fix ups. Have fun trying it out.
