Install a server with zfs and test it. Then let it handle tasks that are not critical. And if it works for you proceed and deploy it. It's somewhat difficult to say that it works for your particular workload. Some have rather positive experience and others are very reluctant. I use it as an internal samba-server and the issues I have are related to the external sas-cabinet rather than zfs itself. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner.
