What is ZFS and how can I use it?

You have probably heard about ZFS. But perhaps you are still wondering what all the fuss is about, what it is exactly and how to use it. I’ve been using it for the past 3 years, so I hope I can help you understand how you can benefit from it. In a nutshell, ZFS is a combined filesystem and logical volume manager. It is intended, first and foremost, to maintain data integrity, but also to protect data from the hardware and from the user and simplify storage administration. ZFS was created at Sun Microsystems and open-sourced as part of OpenSolaris.
