Um, how much hardware is this thing going to require?

From what I have read, I don't think it takes much hardware to support ZFS; if anything, it is probably less complex than the current melange of layers of volume managers and filesystems. Apparently it's already been ported directly to FreeBSD, and I believe that you can also run it in some fashion under Fuse on Linux.

One of the interesting things about ZFS is that it combines the file manager and filesystem. And FUSE has been ported to the Mac by one of the top Google guys. macfuse - Google Code
