As long as there is no recovery tool for ZFS it cannot be treated safe.
In SUNs theory it just can't fail - which is nonsense unless machines are 
perfect and you'll never experience hardware problems. Not disk - but main 
computer (CPU, memory).

It's similar to linux reiserfs i used long time ago. Well it had 
reiserfsck, but it should be called reiserdestroyfs :)
