It's a nice article and a nice benchmark, but there is a very obvious reason why Linux would do well to have ZFS: It means a large number of people would be able to move from Solaris to Linux without touching their storage.

And now that Oracle is set to buy Sun, they could make an executive decision to port ZFS to Linux without concern for copyright.

ZFS [via Oracle] to Unbreakable Linux [via GPLv2] to all Linux.

az: That should read: All your FS are belong to us. If you are going to quote mangled grammar make sure you get the mangling right :)

Somebody set up us the bomb.

If I may ask an entirely off-topic question,

What game was it that had these now-ubiquitous awful grammar examples? I know I never played it.

Likely a Windows game.

No it was a Sega MegaDrive (european version of the Genesis) game. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us

Ah! Maybe it was machine translation unchecked by an english native speaker.

Or it could have been a hasty attempt at translation by someone who was given the job last minute and really didn't have a good grasp of English. All I know is that the results were really funny.

You know what you doing.
