even if Linux never gets ZFS I am still thrilled ZFS exists and is being developed and adopted by the BSD's and Apple. After all, if it wernt for ZFS Oracle likely wouldn't have said "me too" and started development on Btrfs. well, they liekly would have, though i don't think it would have been made as easily avalible. could have easily become a good piece of Oracle IP. glad its open though.
