ZFS in Ars Technica today

ZFS-loving Mac users demand support in OS X 10.9 | Ars Technica

One minor inaccuracy (the Community Edition did not predate the involvement of GreenBytes) but it's smart to have ZFS in the spotlight.

(I added a comment. Don't underestimate the value of feedback to Apple!)

I just submitted the following to the OSX feedback site:

"I am an advanced amateur photographer who uses a MacPro with an external SAS array with 12TB of primary storage. I currently use JHFS+ with apple-raid 10 on this setup, with backups going to NAS/TimeMachine as well as to a ZFS box. I would love to have native ZFS support for the SAS array as this would allow me to more efficiently (~9TB of usable space in RAIDZ1 vs 6TB of space in RAID 10), and securely (data integrity is verified in ZFS) maintain my library. It also brings other features to the table like low overhead snapshots and flexible volume creation.

Please reconsider ZFS, or at least something like it, for the future."
