Jamal 'Butter' is acceptable, what baffles me is Sun's direct involvement with ZFS and indirect involvement with Btrfs through Oracle - GPL vs. a bunch of other licences that render ZFS not portable to Linux - don't they have a Legal affairs department at Sun?

Heard that there are developing ZFS-like filesystem for linux called BTRFS(Butter FS, where do this guys get this names from), was recently ported into 2.6.29 kernel however it is experimental and in heavy development, so lets just wait and see.Although i've heard guys using zfs on linux with fuse(love this thing)

I'm taking the risk on 8-CURRENT ... surely its bound to be STABLE at some point, like almost everything on FreeBSD is.
The biggest challenge is having Freebsd boot on a ZFS partition. still waiting ....
Some not-so-faint-hearted guys are already doing it using gpt.
