Storage
ZFS is the root file system on Oracle Solaris 11 offering a superior experience in terms of
manageability, scalability and data integrity. ZFS presents a pooled storage model that completely
eliminates the concept of volumes and the associated problems of partitions, provisioning, wasted
bandwidth and stranded storage. Thousands of file systems can draw from a common storage pool,
each one consuming only as much space as it actually needs. All operations are copy-on-write
transactions ensuring that the on-disk state is always valid.
