 There are basically two different classes of storage types:
 
+File level storage::

+File level based storage technologies allow access to a full featured (POSIX)
+file system.  They are in general more flexible than any Block level storage
+(see below), and allow you to store content of any type. ZFS is probably the

 Block level storage::
 
 Allows to store large 'raw' images. It is usually not possible to store
 other files (ISO, backups, ..) on such storage types. Most modern
 block level storage implementations support snapshots and clones.
