Using Redhat 4.5; I have been researching this for weeks and all signs and wisemen (such as yourself) point to the Holy Grail -- ZFS!
On a side node, brtfs nor ext4 won't help us too much. Strange that ZFS is being ported to FreeBSD but a license dispute between GPL and CDDL? I guess GPL isn't all its cracked out to be... (no flame intended). Eitherway, thanks for everyone's time and replies.
