correct. but it's also a management system so perhaps they only want a files system? no idea why more don't use zfs. especially after the auto expansion update earlier in the year.

IMO the main reason is that ~90% of ZFS benefits only show up with multiple drives which (unfortunately) is fairly uncommon outside of servers.
That's a major benefit of ZFS for sure, but I think being copy on write is another major benefit for single disk systems. ZFS is the only one I know of that has a full feature set and is supported on every major OS.
Cross platform encryption, backup/restore (zfs send/receive), large file support are all great reasons to use zfs.
Apple almost went with ZFS and Sun pissed off Jobs by mentioning it early (IIRC).
Not AFAICT.
