It appears that Apple will be including Sun Microsystem’s ZFS file system in 10.6 Snow Leopard Server. For those of us who dislike HSF+ and all the issues that are associated with it, this informal announcement by Apple on the Snow Leopard site is a welcomed change. We can only hope this will be available in the regular, non-server version of Snow Leopard.

For those who want more information about ZFS and Snow Leopard, read ZDNet.com’s article on ZFS for Snow Leopard or check out Apple’s Snow Leopard Server site, which mentions it officially. Also, Wikipedia has a great article on ZFS.
