Solaris ZFS and Containers
ZFS is a new file system from Sun provided free in the Solaris 10. It provides very high levels of data integrity and performance. Also, because it is 128-bit based, it opens the door to virtually unlimited data scalability. ZFS uses a pooled storage model in which storage capacity is held within an expandable pool called a zpool. Multiple file systems can exist within a zpool and they can share the capacity and IO resources of the pool.
