At the Worldwide Developer Conference currently underway in San Fransisco, Apple unveiled some of the new features coming in Mac OS X Server 10.6, Snow Leopard. Of course the new release gets the same improvements as the client version, but in addition to those, there are a few server-specific features underway too.

Can storage be removed from a Z pool without risking data integrity such as an external hard drive?
You probably shouldn't put internal and external drives into the same pool. I saw a slide claiming that the ability to remove disks will (finally) appear in Solaris in September. You'll be able to remove a disk as long as the free space in the pool is larger than the size of the disk.
Can ZFS be used with meta-data tagging or even a WinFS type metadata system?
ZFS supports extended attributes; it's no BeFS but AFAIK it's better than HFS+.

I wonder if you'll be able to boot into ZFS? I further wonder if they will manage to make it to where a ZFS partition can be your primary partition?
