Ok. That's going to make it both easier and harder for them in the future. 
In particular, it probably means that their VFS layer really has no notion 
of this at all, and it's going to be fairly hard to support any kind of 
generic "backwards compatibility" layer on top of other filesystems.


I wouldn't hold my breadth on ZFS, considering the memory requirements. 
ZFS apparently wants *lots* of memory:

	http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide#ZFS_Administra...
	http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSTuningGuide

in fact it seems that the FreeBSD people basically recomment against using 
ZFS on 32-bit kernels because of the memory use issues.

Yes, it could be BSD-specific, but considering Solaris has the same 
recommendation, it sure seems like ZFS isn't ready for prime time on any 
low-end (read: consumer) hardware.

Of course, in a year or two, 2GB will be the norm. Right now it's still 
fairly unusual on Mac hardware outside of the Mac Pro line (which, I 
think, comes with a *minimum* of 2GB), and the people who get it want it 
not for the filesystem caches, but for big photo editing jobs..
