Mind you, ZFS is marked as an experimental feature in FreeBSD and even
that, it is already used by many in production. The bug you are refering
to, is just a bug, and I believe it's already fixed, this is not like a
design flaw in ZFS, so your comment is simply unfair.

It took many years to design and many years to implement ZFS, and
believe me, it's not an easy task to create such advance piece of
software. I wish Matt the best, but I'm quite sceptical.

PS. I think Sun with his great work on Solaris is worth at least a bit
of respect by getting the "Solaris" spelling right.
