When it comes to dealing with storage, Solaris 10 provides admins with more choices than any other operating system. Right out of the box, it offers two filesystems, two volume managers, an iscsi target and initiator, and, naturally, an NFS server. Add a couple of Sun packages and you have volume replication, a cluster filesystem, and a hierarchical storage manager. Trust your data to the still-in-development features found in OpenSolaris, and you can have a fibre channel target and an in-kernel CIFS server, among other things. True, some of these features can be found in any enterprise-ready UNIX OS. But Solaris 10 integrates all of them into one well-tested package. Editor's note: This is the first of our published submissions for the 2008 Article Contest.

It would be advisable to stay on topic and edit out any snipey and unprofessional off-topic asides like the above quoted material. This article is supposed to be about "Solaris Filesystem Choices". Please talk about Solaris filesystems.
Aside from some understandable concerns about layering, I think most "Linux folks" recognize that ZFS has some undeniable strengths.
I hope that this Article Contest does not turn into a convenient platform from which authors feel they can hurl potshots at others.
