ZFS is cool

I don't know why - but I feel it's cool somehow :)
Creating such a pool is not only easy - it's damn fast - I mean creating pool took less then 20s and creating filesystem took less than 3s!

What can I say - it just works! And all of this with multipathing (MPxIO) on Solaris 10 FCS.

What version of Solaris 10 are you running? I can't find ZFS in Solaris 10 FCS. I thought ZFS was not being released until later this year or early part of 2006.

This is FCS. ZFS is not currently avail to general public. I'm afraid you have to wait a little bit longer for it.
