There is a reason that the ZFS developers decided to toss out years of experience in file systems and start over. The overhead and limitations of the traditional methods just didn't cut it.
I just think it is sad that the linux kernel license prohibits
distribution with 'best-of-breed' components... But conceptually,
distributing the block storage seems like a good idea and zfs embeds a
lot of the block device management.
