The cool thing here is that, although they don't have the posix layer done yet, they do have all the pooling stuff working. That gives you scrubbing, snapshots

The cool thing here is that, although they don't have the posix layer done yet, they do have all the pooling stuff working. That gives you scrubbing, snapshots, RAID-Z{,2,3}, etc. In their example page (http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/zfs/example-zvol http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/zfs/example-zvol), they show how you can make a zvol and put ext2 on it, which is a pretty cool step towards having reliable data on linux. Too bad about the license, but I'd certainly consider it for a home server.
