Interesting possibilities- if physical and logical locations need not 
coincide for pool elements then some implications for scaling arise . I 
am not a filesystem guru by any stretch however to a reasonably versed 
layman this seems to have potential .

Question is will it be OS or ?

Last take is that the line closing the piece where engineer Jeff Bonwick 
makes an IMHO dangerous statement .

Logically, the next question is if ZFS' 128 bits is enough. According to 
Bonwick, it has to be. "Populating 128-bit file systems would exceed the 
quantum limits of earth-based storage. You couldn't fill a 128-bit 
storage pool without boiling the oceans."

Any takers for a bet that Jeff Bonwick's assessment soon joins that of 
Wm Gates - "640 k is enough ."
