Here are the first that come in mind: robustness, data is guaranteed to be always consistent. Never need to fsck even after a brutal poweroff. Creating a mirror or a striped configuration is dead easy. No need to anticipate or even bother with file system and/or partition sizes. No more need to edit /etc/(v)fstab. Architecture neutrality (SPARC/x86), import/export pools, compression, encryption, deduplication, ditto blocks, sharenfs, sharesmb, snapshots, clones, send/receive streams, zvols.

1- When ZFS was configured, do I use Zone?
ZFS and Solaris zones are unrelated.

2- Solaris has got partitioning, but, I think, the partitioning in Solaris was soft, not hard-ware like HP. Which benifit of partitioning did ZFS bring to?
Solaris supports both soft and hard partitioning on SPARC. VirtualBox is kind of hard partitioning on x86. There is again little relationship with ZFS.
