It offers a revolutionary, integrated approach to block device, raid, volume management and filesystem technology. We'll take a high-level look at what makes ZFS so different from previous storage technologies and look at efforts to port ZFS to free operating systems (ZFS is available for FreeBSD and in a userland port to Linux, but the path will not be easy).
