Full Discussion: Solaris Filesystem vs. Windows FileSystem
Operating Systems Solaris Solaris Filesystem vs. Windows FileSystem Post 302553737 by Peasant on Thursday 8th of September 2011 11:38:48 AM

Have you checked out human readable wikipedia entry about filesystems.
File system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Solaris, similar to all UNIX/Linux operating systems can make all sorts of filesystems, so you cannot compare like that.

Comparison can be made between, for instance, ZFS and NTFS.
It's all about features and reliability of certain filesystem, what you require and in some filesystems how much cash have you got.

local-filesystems

local-filesystems(7)					 Miscellaneous Information Manual				      local-filesystems(7)

NAME

       local-filesystems - event signalling that local filesystems have been mounted

SYNOPSIS

       local-filesystems [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  local-filesystems  event  is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all local filesystems listed in fstab(5).  moun-
       tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with  other
       activity.

       This event is typically used by services that must be started in order for remote filesystems, if any, to be activated.	Remember that some
       users may not consider it wrong to place /usr on a remote filesystem.  For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.

       This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to be running once local filesystems are mounted might use:

	      start on local-filesystems

SEE ALSO

       mounting(7) mounted(7) virtual-filesystems(7) remote-filesystems(7) all-swaps(7) filesystem(7)
