Yes, ZFS here since the very early versions of Solaris 10. Absolutely
rock solid and has never lost any data here, nor had a situation
that was not recoverable. Why use anything else ?.

FreeBSD was the only alternative os to offer their own clean room
zfs many years ago, but they moved to OpenZFS. Again, rock solid
and would not choose any other fs, other than for quick hacks, or
testing.

Back on topic, who remembers the dec advfs  for Tru64 ?. Never
actually used it, but what were it's advantages / usp ?...
