Sure, it's nowhere near as long-toothed as zip, but shirley an 8-year-old protocol that's regularly used isn't obscure?
Obscurity doesn't necessarily have anything to do with age.
It's the default compression scheme for ZFS, apparently, so obscurity is in the eye of the user I guess.
Nobody uses ZFS.

I use it.
Until I get around to finish building my new NAS computer to upgrade my storage capacity and migrate off my current NAS (a QNAP 8 bay ANS with a custom ROM that replaces the default QNAP OS with a crippled version of FreeNAS)
at which point i'll drop it like a hot potato.

@Vixen think of all the dirty things you and @Tsaukpaetra could talk about as foreplay.

new NAS computer
I'm thinking of doing the same at some point, especially since the big storage drive on my main computer is starting to get full. And also I want to stop using my main computer as my media storage/server. And I need to upgrade that computer as well but that can wait.

I have an external NAS with 4x2TB disks in X-RAID which is getting fullish. X-RAID allows in theory drives to be replaced individually for gradual vertical expansion. The model I have does, however, have a 16TB max.
I'm considering building another PC to replace it, as I'd just need to add a case and PSU to the spare parts I already have and it would give me more flexbility.

WTF?
Oh, and you didn't hear it from me, but iXsystems is porting much of their stuff to work on Linux!
