Nice summary of why you'll want to use ZFS over on Tech-Recipes. Already in OpenSolaris, ZFS will debut in Solaris in the 6/06 (aka "Update 2") release due out next week.

Chris Ratcliffe (Solaris marketing), Tom Goguen (his boss), Josh Berkus (Postgres engineering), and I, had a nice dinner with some customers and the press on Monday to talk about the 1 year anniversary of OpenSolaris and some other interesting Solaris facts & figures. The round-up below:

• OpenSolaris Celebrates First Anniversary
• OpenSolaris: Success Story, or Too Soon to Say?
• Sun's 5,000 layoffs and 5 million OpenSolaris downloads
• Sun CEO will announce thousands of layoffs this Thursday
• Sun Solaris Embraces PostgreSQL
• OpenSolaris: One Year Down, Participation Up
• OpenSolaris Turns One
• Happy Birthday OpenSolaris

We didn't talk at all about the pending lay-offs. First, it's not appropriate, and second, we don't know a damn thing about them. But it looks like some reporters haven't forgotten the first rule of journalism: Open with a title that will hook the reader. Sigh.
