Isn't it a pity that the fbsd implementation of ZFS lacks such a
feature. Your anti stories of ZFS often show these aspects.
Almost none of your comments on zfs are valid in Solaris.

But hey, what the heck, use what you want. I don't write for SUN, I use
ZFS on all systems and it never disappointed me. It's blazingly fast,
very flexible, configurable. Stripes, mirrors, it's all so easy.
It will be even better in time.

Conclusion: Wojciech Puchar is against zfs. so what. I belong to the
pro's fwiw.
