I understand that it is not that big deal in server deployment 
(which is what enteprise Linux/Unix providers care for), although 
I am not sure whether I would like to have unencrypted disks in
huge datahosting company racks, but it is certainly quite 
different with desktop deployment -- I am just not allowed to 
have unencrypted /home on my notebook with Red Hat on it.

I am not saying that ZFS is bad (that would be crazy, it IS 
probably the most advanced filesystem of enterprise quality 
available today), but that we Linuxists shouldn't suffer that 
much feeling of inferiority for not having it.

Besides, I have both on this office computer and my notebook at 
home BTRFS on /var (I wouldn't let it go further than to /var 
;-)). I think in the moment BTRFS will mature enough to be 
enterprise-level ready ZFS will get a good run for its money.
