ZFS sounds like fun

I just read an article on some guy’s blog about using Solaris and ZFS as a home file server.

Frankly, it looks awesome. I’ve been wishing for some ZFS goodness for a while, and could probably come up with some ways to use up a few terabytes of space.

My only question is … how do I justify spending $1300 on something that I have to invent a use for?

    This is trivial. You justify it by wanting it. r/w for ZFS will also be in Snow Leopard (ro in Leopard unfortunately).

    I’d heard rumors it’d be in Snow Leopard. If they actually do it, that’d be awesome.
