At the Sun Tech Days event this month in St. Petersburg, Russia, Sun's Jim Hughes found a unique way to... um... hammer home a point about the capabilities of Solaris ZFS. Wielding a sledgehammer and standing in front of approximately 2,000 audience members... actually, the video tells the story better than words ever could.  Check out ZFS "Hammer Time" and see for yourself.

Hughes (with hammer) Kirill Nikonchuk and Jim Walker before the hammer swinging began.

A little extreme? Maybe. But the man knows how to make a point about ZFS.  And while a hammer-wielding Sun Fellow may not have been the culprit in your experiences with data corruption or file system failure, perhaps you've got your own war story to tell?  If so, please share.
