I do not think so (This is only what I have read about it). I should have been more clear, I think Btrfs will much faster reach it's goal, since both Oracle and (Red Hat) want it as their default FS, as soon as possible. At the moment, if you want ZFS you better install Solaris. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
