While there is a lot of buzz about Apple using ZFS, Solaris express of course uses it, and soon Solaris regular will use it (as of Solaris update 2). Yet there are many people that say ZFS is great for servers but people don't need it at home. This blog entry seeks to clear up this falacy. ZFS is possibly more needed at home.

True, but isn't an LVM an extra layer on top of a filesystem and much more complicated to use than what ZFS has? ZFS has this feature built-in.
Also, aren't ZFS storage pools much faster to create than LVM?
