ZFS is a next generation filesystem created by Matthew Ahrens and Jeff Bonwick. It was designed around a few key ideas:

• Administration of storage should be simple.
• Redundancy should be handled by the filesystem.
• File-systems should never be taken offline for repair.
• Automated simulations of worst case scenarios before shipping code is important.
• Data integrity is paramount.
