Sun Solaris 10 now uses a file system named ZFS... really cool. This new technology outdates other filesystems running on UNIX platforms. Their older system was UFS.

And I hear ZFS doesn't stand for anything.

ZFS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The name originally stood for "Zettabyte File System", but is now a pseudo-initialism.

That's right...originally it stood for "Zettabyte File System" but it's just now a vestige.
