Well the NetApp vs Sun over ZFS lawsuit isn't helping anything either.
It is rather hard to find adopters for a technology that is free that
is already mired in a lawsuit.

That said, the dedup ability in ZFS is a pretty neat feature, and
could save a serious amount of space depending on your usage model.

ZFS is one of the all time fails for Sun. It is a very cool file
