[plug] OpenSolaris, ZFS, RAID-Z Comments

[Tim]

Shortly after my first posted, I discovered that a) 'open' solaris is
now a little murky (and has no 2010 release), and b) BTRFS exists!
Looking interesting. So lets expand the discussion to include BTRFS.
How's it perform? For RAID10 do you still do software raid then BTRFS
over the top, or does it do it itself similar to RAIDZ?
