What's so great about ZFS?

Nobody seems to be able to give a straight answer. All i hear is blah blah end to end dynamic virtual 128bit copy read write blah blah. Anyone here know?

Doesn't really help. The only ones I could pick up was the not having to fsck & the 128 bit, but I still don't get why it's so omg. It's just a fscking file system can't you guys abstract it a bit further? Eg if I have a disk formatted in ZFS, ....... how many times will it get me laid? I think I hang around nerds too much.

if you are so confused why to worry ... all the hopla belong to savy nerds that can understand the beauty of zfs arhitecture not to you, little mortals ....

I had never heard of ZFS until now. It seems to be a very handy file system for server configurations. I may try experimenting with it on my home server when I next get round to rebuilding it. The impression I get is it may run a little slow though.
