Agreed it would be. I'd love to see it (I'm an advocate for as

So, the real question is, who's going to volunteer to start
actually porting it?
People interested in volunteering can expect lots of help and
interest, but should go into it knowing that it's a highly complex
multi man year project, and definitely not a summer project or
"free weekends" sort of thing. I'm happy to be proven wrong on
that point, but it would be dishonest for me to suggest it will be
easy. :-)
I thought that I'd mentioned this on this list a few days ago, but
there is a SoC project to port ZFS to FUSE. The person doing the
work is specifically targeting Linux for this, but since we already
have FUSE running on FreeBSD it seems like a pretty good way to at
least get something working (assuming the SoC project completes).
Jeff Bonwick's blog about it: http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/

I doubt that I'd be any help making the code work, but I certainly
like to see this make to FreeBSD is possible. If there are other
things that I can do to help then I'd be open to suggestions.
