Ok, here is lot of info and input. Thanx for sharing!
I wonder, would it be possible for SUN to come up with a WinFS similar thing
upon ZFS? A killer app for ZFS, making everyone wanting ZFS (everyone wants it
already, but more is more)?
I would like to see SUN did a database thingy a la
Why would you build a complex database filesystem for searching through some
pictures and word documents, or movies and songs? The answer is: you
wouldn't. You'd do what everyone is already doing: provide a user app that
indexes important files and lets you search them. Problem solved.

Ive heard that WinFS is a filesystem that has some kind of database? I didnt
understand the advantages because I havent read about it, but it is the best
thing since sliced bread according to MS.
My question is, because WinFS database is running on top of NTFS, could a

I don't think this is a simple question. The way ZFS is
Actually, having a database on top of an FS is really useful. It's a Content
Addressable Storage system.One of the problem home users have is that they
are putting more and more of their lives in digital format. Users need a way
to organize and search all that info in some sort of
That sounds neat. Just like spotlight(?) search function for Mac OS X, but
built into the DB on top the file system? Is fast searches the only advantage?
Then, isnt there any spotlight search function for solaris?

So yeah, you just supported what I said about a database on top of a filesystem
being useful because HFS uses a database type structure for it's catalog. It's
an object based storage but the schema in HFS isn't as extensible as to what
