I also feel that the "institutial knowledge" about the VM+VFS+UFS conglomerate seems to be going away. There were many attempts to port file systems to FreeBSD that have stopped dead once they've reached read-only phase, and recent problems with UFS looked really ugly (I don't even know if they are solved - I'm scared of filling up UFS drives right now :) ). My first production ZFS panicked the other day so ZFS is not yet the answer. (And yes, I know I'm complaining without suggesting solutions).
