Hi,

indeed it is very promising. I dont think ZFS will be available in Linux withing say 1 year due to copyright problems (afaik).
Anyway with ZFS you can do “Active Dataguard” (i.e. open your database for running reports) without any costs.

Looks very promising especially for short terms tests.

Thank you very much for sharing . I hope ZFS will be fully available for linux machines in near future
