Heh, I'm just messing with you, given that other thread that's going on.  :)

Actually, however, google is a great resource for this.  I started
researching as soon as I saw David's post, and zfs looks really
interesting.  I'm considering running a copy or two of Solaris to play
around with it a little, to get familiar with it before (granted,
probably *way* before) it shows up on Linux.  It looks interesting.

Wikipedia has some good technical details as well, btw.
