Anyway, out of all the features of ZFS, support for 128-bit block
numbers is among the least interesting, both from an engineering
perspective and from the user's perspective. I don't know why
everyone is so eager to discuss them. Much more interesting, for
instance, is the pooled storage model for volume management.
(Basically, you tell the system, ``I have a bunch of disks with
similar QoS characteristics, and I want N filesystems on top of
them.'' ZFS then dynamically shares the pool of storage among the
filesystems. It's amazing how much trouble this saves.)
Sounds like ADVFS on OSF/ALPHA...
Was nice to work with.
