I would like to see guidelines for at least two common scenarios: Multi-terabyte file server with multi-drive pool. Limited RAM (1G) root-on-ZFS workstation with a single disk. The first is easy with the defaults, but particular tuning could be beneficial. And would be a good place to talk about NFS on ZFS, usage of SSDs, and so on. The second is supposed to be achievable, but the specifics... These could go in the ZFS section in the Handbook. I'm interested in working on that.
