Don't jump in until you've tested it with a realistic production load. The nice thing was that 8-current didn't require any special kernel or memory tuning at all (except for disabling ZIL, but not everyone seems to have to do this). > - Samba 3.2 > + ACLs possible directly under ZFS? As far as I know ZFS does not support ACLs under FreeBSD at this time, and implementing it is non-trivial. - Andrew
