   ZFS is a memory hog, though, isn’t it (it is to filesystems like Java   
   is for programming languages). Best confined to a dedicated storage   
   appliance, not something you want to run on a general-purpose machine.   
      
   Fun fact: even Oracle will not offer ZFS on its own Linux distro, but   
   it will give you btrfs instead.
