XFS and ZFS are completely different things.

XFS is a file system originating with SGI in 1993.  It's been in use
on Linux for years.  Largely considered stable.

ZFS is a file system originating with Sun in 2005.  I don't know anyone
who uses it.  Largely considered experimental/unfinished outside of
Solaris.
