ZFS is a layering violation.

En garde!

ZFS blurs the line between volume management and filesystem. If that
fits your goals, no problem.

EVMS similarly blurred the line between volume management and multi-path
I/O. EVMS is long gone. I don't expect ZFS to suffer the same fate, nor
do I wish it. I do wish that we could retain modularity.

ZFS does have a big advantage that is momentarily free from certain
abominations done in the name of security.
