If one wanted to help Pawel & FreeBSD get to a stable ZFS implementation, then spending some time experimenting with it and reporting bugs or problems you run into on your setup would certainly be helpful. However, if one wanted to get a production-ready environment going today using an 8 TB storage setup, going with Solaris would undoubtedly be wiser. If your main concern is obtaining pre-built Solaris 10/Intel packages, there are a few hundred available at http://sunfreeware.com/...I didn't see postfix there, but there's most of the GNU toolchain and a number of common libraries (OpenSSL, libGMP, etc) which will at least help. -- -Chuck
