I'm currently using an RPI2 with an attached USB hard drive = as a local backup endpoint. It is running Arch Linux ARM with the USB = drive formatted using BTRFS in DUP mode. It would be nice to be able to = replace this setup with FreeBSD + ZFS as I'm much more familiar and = comfortable with that than I am with Arch Linux and BTRFS. It all = hinges on whether the FreeBSD + ZFS setup can be made reliable. I ran = FreeBSD/i386 + ZFS for years on a 2 GB RAM system and it worked like a = champ, so I am at least hopeful...
