John Paul Wohlscheid over at It's FOSS takes a look at the ZFS file system and its capabilities. He mainly covers OpenZFS which is the fork made since Oracle bought and shut down Solaris which was the original host of ZFS. It features pooled storage with RAID-like capabilities, copy-on-write with snapshots, data integrity verification and automatic repair, and it can handle files up to 16 exabytes in size, with file systems of up to 256 quadrillion zettabytes in size should you have enough electricity to pull that off. Because it started development under a deliberately incompatible license, ZFS cannot be directly integrated in Linux. However, several distros work around that and provide packages for it. It has been ported to FreeBSD since 2008.

If you're going to worry about baseless lawsuits your only real defense is to be so insignificant and uninteresting that nobody knows about you. After all it doesn't matter if you've never done anything even remotely questionably legal in your entire life - you can still be dragged through an immensely expensive lawsuit by anyone who wants to cause you trouble. Heck, pretty much the entire RIAA "anti-piracy" legal strategy is to sue people who can't afford to fight back, despite a near-total lack of evidence.
