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.
