Can it die now? ZFS all the things!

    What the hell ever happened with ReiserFS (or whatever it was called?) It was supposed to be used in Vista, and then just never was.

    What's the difference from XFS?

    XFS is more like ext3 or ext4 than zfs. It has now COW, snapshots, although it is very performant and can handle very large volumes. It's a pretty good all around filesystem. I trust it more than ext4, but you also can't shrink it, like you can ext4.
