Really? I thought ZFS for basic things was not too bad in FBSD now.

By basic I mean simple filesystem creation, snapshots and normal
devices. Not some crazy SAN LUNs and weird volume management stuff.

I would really love to use FBSD as opposed to a Solaris derivative,
since I know nothing about them and I'd have to dedicate a machine for
it at home. Hrm. I wonder if I could just get by running a Solaris
derivative inside of a VM in VMware or something.
