Sun ZFS vs. Oracle ASM

Refer to

This sounds uncannily like the new ASM feature in Oracle 10g?

So 10g+ASM on this new ZFS filesystem would be overkill. Either use ASM with raw disks or non-ASM with ZFS?

ZFS looks like interesting technology. They seem to have made the filesystem fully transactional with almost a 2-phase commit.

The ZFS filesystem is also looking like a Oracle autoextend tablespace taking/giving back from the storage pool as necessary!

ZFS, Oracle 10g ASM, Veritas suite of products, sheesh...so many options to do essentially the same thing!

Guess we just need to wait for the inevitable industry benchmarks comparing all these?!
