Hello,
Thought I''d mention a recent (slightly biased) article comparing
DragonflyBSD''s new HAMMER file system and ZFS:
Infinite [automatic] snapshots
As-of mounts [like PITR on Postgres]
Clustered
Backups made easy
File database
Huge ("multi-hundred-terrabyte filesystems")
Fast recovery and fault tolerant

With some small corrections by Matthew Dillon (the author):

Fo those who don''t know, DragonflyBSD is a fork of FreeBSD 4.x
who''s
"ultimate goal is to provide generic clustering support natively in
the kernel":

Dillon forked FreeBSD because of disagreements with the BSD developers in regards to how SMP support should be implemented. He promised god knows what for DfBSD, yet isn''t nowhere close to implementing all of his ideas, meanwhile goes focusing on his filesystem, probably just to go work on something else in the middle of it. -mg
