ZFS is the best of the freebsd stock file systems, it does a lot and has good performance. Not quite the performance of ext4 or BRTFS, but better stability than ext4. ZFS plus some performance tweaking should be amazing (a few versions from now).

ZFS was probably the last great technology contribution Sun Microsystems made to the world of computing before they were absorbed (and largely killed off) by Oracle. NFS, Java, ZFS, the list goes on. Sad day when they were bought by Oracle...

Don't forget MySQL and Solaris! Yes, it was a sad day when Oracle flexed its muscles...

I would have thought with all of their security scares that Sony would have picked OpenBSD over FreeBSD

Yes but the performance!! Also I think that Theo de Rant would have said something to or about Sony they don't want to hear ;)
