I'm testing out ZFS-fuse on my new install (talked about it on the other

help a lot, roughly 30% less storage space required so far.
They don't advertise it as exactly "production" quality, but I'm willing to
try it out, we're doing regular backups. The mail system hasn't gone live
yet though, so I'm a bit uneasy on the performance side of things under
heavy load.
You are aware that there's a real in-kernel ZFS implementation under
Linux now, right? See http://zfsonlinux.org/. I've done some very
basic testing with it, and so far, it works. Going through FUSE is
slower than pissing tar; this implementation won't have that problem.
FUSE is useful for many things. Performance-sensitive filesystems on
production servers is oh-so-NOT one of them. ;)
