In a more general sense, I'm wary of the various efforts to get ZFS
into linux. It's very unlikely to be included in the mainstream kernel
in a hurry, due to licensing issues, and while some distros may offer
it as a feature, it is limited in many ways (eg, with Sabayon, you
can't easily install to ZFS). Further, once you've got your system
onto a ZFS filesystem, you're reliant on the continued support of
whoever got it there. With an in-kernel filesystem, you have far more
support. �It's a shame, I'd really like to be able to use some of
ZFS's features, but I don't think it's ready in linux
Thank you very much for your thoughtful analysis and comments. �I'll probably use your suggestion of using md5sums for sorting the file archive.
What were the ZFS feature you thought you'd like to use?
Cheers,
