ZFS is a combined file system and volume manager created by Jeff Bonwick at Sun Microsystems in 2004. ZFS supports many advanced features not found in traditional file systems: end to end data integrity checking, self healing, file system snapshots, rollbacks, dynamic pools of data, file system compression, and more - all without requiring any special hardware.
