How easy is it to manage Solaris ZFS?
Administering storage with Solaris ZFS is extremely easy. The design of Solaris ZFS eliminates many complicated storage administration concepts entirely. For example, space within the storage pool is dynamically allocated to file systems in the pool, so there’s no need to statically partition storage into slices, volumes, and file systems. Since the on-disk structure of Solaris ZFS is always consistent, a file system check is not needed upon an unclean shutdown (nor must a log be played to make the file system consistent). The command-line interface to Solaris ZFS allows administrators to express their intent straightforwardly; they need not memorize or look up cryptic commands.
