   To address this problem new generation filesystems like ZFS or Btrfs have been created. Classical features that we can find in this kind of filesystems are:
   \begin{itemize}
-      \item CopyOnWrite
-      \item Deduplication
-      \item Data \& Metadata checksums
-      \item Integrated RAID
-      \item Volume Management
