I'm going to continue a look at the news that Sun made an announcement yesterday about some new features for Solaris and OpenSolaris.

I've just commented on the PostgreSQL component - now it's time to look at what else was in the announcement; this time with the OpenSolaris specifics.

The biggest component in the new OpenSolaris release is the inclusion of ZFS support. ZFS is a file system, but unlike other file systems it combines a number of advanced features into a single component to produce a very comprehensive and efficient file system driver.
