ZFS is a 128-bit file system
which means it can store 18 billion billion (18.4
? 1018) times more data than current 64-bit systems. The limitations of ZFS are
designed to be so large that they will never be encountered in practice.
Project leader Bonwick said, "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."
