ZFS (Z File System) is an advanced file system and volume manager, and the ZFS for Linux project provides a native Linux kernel port for it. The latest stable release, ZFS for Linux 0.6.5.6, appears to bring quite some interesting changes, such as support for Linux kernels 2.6.32 until 4.5, as well as the s390 and s390x hardware architectures.
