Hi Jijo, Long time no see here in PLUG!
I've been using ZFS in FBSD, but the way the distribute file system works is not fully automated and sometimes PITA using ZFS snapshot|send|recv. I'm not sure with the upcoming [0]Debian Freeze with ZFS (grin), if all the features of ZFS will be available. Let see if this can be achievable usng [1]Lustre+ZFS as a backend.
