Using ZFS in a Virtual Machine is a risky business since many VM hosts (VMware and VirtualBox at least) discard any SYNCHRONIZE issued by the guest. VirtualBox has a way to turn SYNCHRONIZE functionality back on. Make sure you know how the VM software handles SYNCHRONIZE or FLUSH before using ZFS there.
