Zettabyte file system - ZFS Management

ZFS was first publicly released in the 6/2006 distribution of Solaris 10. Previous versions of Solaris 10 did not include ZFS .  ZFS is flexible, scalable and reliable. It is a POSIX-compliant filesystem with several important features:




  • integrated storage pool management

  • data protection and consistency, including RAID

  • integrated management for mounts and NFS sharing

  • scrubbing and data integrity protection

  • snapshots and clones

  • advanced backup and restore features

  • excellent scalability

  • built-in compression

  • maintenance and troubleshooting capabilities

  • automatic sharing of disk space and I/O bandwidth across disk devices in a pool

  • endian neutrality


No separate filesystem creation step is required. The mount of the filesystem is automatic and does not require vfstab maintenance. Mounts are controlled via the  mountpoint  attribute of each file system.
