Thanks for the links, it had been a while so I was a little foggy on that one. In the end, I don't think you'd want to back the project for that reason.
>It doesn't offer a whole lot over traditional filesystems in a single-device context; since Apple has basically abandoned server/enterprise, I would wager the vast majority of new OS X systems are single-drive.
Not really, but of all the major vendor file-systems, HFS+ is probably the weakest link. An update to a filesystem that is well maintained for a freeBSD base would probably be an upgrade. Also, even with a single disk, zfs would have the benifits of good filsystem level compression which can boost read write/speeds by 2 or 3 times. Especially on a no server box where you are likely to have idle cores.
There are some features from an os level of using COW if you want to give people restore points or built-in os VCS for files. Also checksums (ie, this file looks to be corrupted, would you like to go back to yesterday?).
So there's some cool usage for these file systems even on a single disk but again a corporation probably doesn't want to touch it with a 10 foot stick.
