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.

My only nit-pick is the author's claim to ZFS being infinitely scalable.
Why is that a nitpick? Is it because if you can put a number to it then it can't be infinite?
Think about how many bits there are in 2^128. Now think about how many atoms you need ... for all intents and purposes, 2^128 is actually infinite.
