Using the Zettabyte File System (ZFS)
This section provides information about using Zettabyte File Systems (ZFS) on the
Sun Fire X4500 server. Concepts such as hierarchical file system layout, property
inheritance, and automatic mount point management and share interactions are
included in the
ZFS Administration Guide, ( 819-5461). For information on best
practices for ZFS go to:

The Solaris Zettabyte File System (ZFS), is available in the Solaris 10 11/06 OS and
delivers file system management capabilities by automating common administrative
tasks, protecting data from corruption and providing virtually unlimited scalability.
ZFS uses virtual storage pools to make it easy to expand or contract file systems
simply by adding more drives.
