I have recently seen a lecture on ZFS and if I grasped it correctly, Sun 
calls ZFS the disk (or generally the storage) pooling system together 
with the filesystem and the manners it's possible to work with it. 
Incidentally today I read some documentation for FreeBSD's GEOM 
framework and it seems to me that besides the filesystem as such, 
everything what Sun is calling 'ZFS' could be done within this BSD 
framework.

I am at this moment definitelly not in a state I could compare the ZFS 
and it's framework and GEOM, but I want to recommend all the interested 
people to look at GEOM. :)
