I did get a panic before that, but now I am shuffling data happily and slightly faster than gvinum did, and memory has levelled off at about 160MB for zfs. I'll be keeping my previous hardware RAID in one piece for a little while though, I think, just in case! (old Adaptec card with a 2TB limit on containers).
