Zettabyte File System (ZFS) is claiming to be “The Most Advanced File System on the Planet”!<\/p>\n

What is ZFS?<\/p>\n

ZFS is a proprietary file system from Solaris<\/span> ZFS is a file system designed and developed by Sun MIcrosystem for Solaris Operating System. ZFS or Zettabyte File System will solve all of the problem any administrator encountered in a filesystem.<\/p>\n

In a nut shell, a ZFS kind of like represent a virtual storage pool. Virtual meaning you will be able to grow or shrink file systems very easily by simply adding new physical disks to this pool.<\/p>\n

Concept is still the same as any virtual logical volume. Virtual logical volume wherein you configure a bunch of disk to be one super big disk and you group it in volumes\/partitions to be used by the system. Having added 10 more physical disks to the pool for example, you’ll be able to decide which filesystems you want to grow.<\/p>\n

Here are some qoutes<\/a><\/span> quotes from Sun Microsystem documentation about ZFS:<\/p>\n

Physical storage can be added to or removed from storage pools dynamically, without interrupting services, providing new levels of flexibility, availability, and performance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In scalability,<\/p>\n

Solaris ZFS is a 128-bit file system. Its theoretical limits are truly mind-boggling \u20142128<\/small><\/sup> bytes of storage, and 264<\/small><\/sup> for everything else such as file systems, snapshots, directory entries, devices, and more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the improvement of RAID-5, which is RAID-Z,<\/p>\n

… which uses parity, striping, and atomic operations to ensure reconstruction of corrupted data.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Say ‘atomic operations’ ?? Wah that?!<\/p>\n
