Followed your links and a few more, looks very promising.
What I'd been dreaming of is an object oriented system. As a programmer I'm not directly interested in files, but I just want to have persistent data storage for arbitrary data under some path like structured name. Both disks and memory should have support for that without bothering even the OS. Let alone the programmer. Maybe like in http://www.noofs.org/product.html .
Stoll, ZFS seems good progress from what we commonly have now
I read that Apple's can't boot right now from ZFS, but I guess you'll need it for large disks that won't silently corrupt ?

Indeed, and the pool idea is excellent. Just add more disks to the existing pool and build a flexible storage across drives and whatnot.

It seemed big enough to hold the whole internet in a single file system

BTW, it is exciting to see that the current 10.5 seed supports RaidZ2. This is the RaidZ version which supports double parity.

ZFS is of course the filesystem of choice for your digital media. It makes perfect sense that Apple have embraced ZFS because of how Apple already have been pushing media management apps like iTunes, iPhoto, Aperture as well as content creation apps like Logic, Final Cut, iMovie and others. One strong feature of ZFS is the ability to span volumes across drives.

No, nothing can, not SunOS, not Nexenta.

Ok, it just seemed a bit odd.

As an object storage system it would certainly count IMO, I'd like the the work to be done though by the disk drive itself, not by a program (or the OS).
