ZFS for Windows

Is not here yet … sorry if you thought I was announcing it, or had written a driver in my spare time.  I’m just as annoyed as the next geek that SUN’s brilliant filesystem is not available under Windows for use at home. or is it ….

I was pondering whether I could build a Solaris 10 based home server with a ZFS pool. Well of course I could, I really meant should.  Microsoft WHS is quite well packaged and NTFS does have some elements of ZFS (or at least those that I need sans 128 bit addressing) so is it worth the bother?  I’m still pondering, but I do like the extreme geek factor involved of a stripped out ZFS only Solaris home server.
