Anyone seen the new Sun FileSystem

With my quantum discombobulator all things will become possible.
Using my Heisenberg Compensator I will be able to store anything anywhere.  Coming soon to a filesystem near you 1024-bit and after that, 64823408-bit.  The scaling is amazing.   And my new filesystem, 42FS, will move at incredible speed.  I will use a technique I learned in Boy Scouts to fold space using a paperclip and a ball of twine and then pass the requested file information through the folded space to the quantum API.  The information will move so fast at times, it will arrive before you ask for it.  That's where the quantum discombobulator comes into play.  I will actually have to slow some data down.  Be careful if you use MS SQL Server, it will assume it has the right to take control of all memory space, have full access to all system resources and attempt mind control, even if you are only using it to store addresses and/or recipes.

Next stop, storing your personal data files in the spaces within your DNA.  Talk about portability.  It may make your back hurt and you could grow a third arm, but who hasn't thought that would be handy sometime?

There is a time for peace and talk and reason; and then, at long last, and only with sadness of heart and mournful admission that all your wisdom and words have failed, you must go kill you some motherf*ckers and set some of their sh*t on fire.

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 ."
