Perspectives
"When we needed more storage, we would add another Linux box with a big RAID array, and then copy directories around and split up everything manually," says Vibber. "Now with ZFS, we can add disks and extend the ZFS pool, and we're done - the space is instantly available. It doesn't require us to replace everything if we need to expand, and we're very happy about that."

"ZFS is a bullet proof file system and volume manager that's free. It affords all the features of
expensive add-ons as an easy to use, no-cost component of the Solaris 10 OS. Talking as someone
who manages a budget, that is a great thing. With Solaris 10, Sun has tapped back into the
spirit of innovation that made it a market leader and the inclusion of ZFS in Solaris 10
exemplifies that spirit."
