I suggest to read up on ZFS a bit more.

With OpenSolaris 09.06, with three 20 GB virtual disks, I'm getting =
this:

root@opensolaris:~# zpool create tank raidz c8t1d0 c8t2d0 c8t3d0
root@opensolaris:~# zpool list
NAME   SIZE   USED  AVAIL    CAP  HEALTH  ALTROOT
tank  59.5G   881K  59.5G     0%  ONLINE  -
root@opensolaris:~# zfs list
NAME   USED  AVAIL  REFER  MOUNTPOINT
tank  91.2K  39.0G  25.3K  /tank

Which is exactly the same behavior as with FreeBSD.  And of course you =
only get to store 40 GB worth of files on this filesystem.
