ZFS is coming to OS X 10.6!! ZDNET: ZFS finally comes to Snow Leopard
I have a couple of questions per XFS for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
I know that its a file system that was developed by Sun.
Q 1: Will it completely replace the current file system in Mac OS X
Q 2: Which File System is currently used it Mac OS X?
Q 3:On top of its current bonuses, will it speed up the overall everything about navigating, opening, and transferring files?
Q 5: (Most important) Is this only for OS X Server? And if it is for Retail, will it be of much use to consumers?

Q 4: What does that mean, because I cannot wrap my head around it, and what does it mean to the average user?No more volumes
Every time you add a disk to your Mac you see another disk icon on the desktop. If you want to RAID some disks you use Disk Utility (or something) to create the volume. Slow, error-prone, confusing.
ZFS eliminates the whole volume concept. Add a disk or five to your system and it joins your storage pool. More capacity. Not more management.
