The following ZFS file system features (not available in Oracle Solaris 10) are available in Oracle Solaris 11:
ZFS file system encryption – You can encrypt a ZFS file system when it is created. See Chapter 9, Managing Security.
ZFS file system deduplication – For important information about determining whether your system environment can support ZFS data deduplication, see ZFS Data Deduplication Requirements.
ZFS file system sharing syntax changes – Includes both NFS and SMB file system sharing changes. SeeZFS File System Sharing Changes.

ZFS root pool setup simplified – Support for Unified Archives in Oracle Solaris 11.2 makes root pool recovery setup much easier than in previous releases. See Using Unified Archives for System Recovery and Cloning in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .
