What the heck is your "business requirement"? Nobody runs an OS in prod and expects to use another OS on the same drives.
Figure out what you *NEED* rather than what you *WANT* needless complexity is going to kill you. So's going for buzz words. I love zfs but it isn't the right thing for everything. I love openbsd, but it isn't the right thing all the time either. I hate windows and it is never the right thing, but I'm still forced to use it.
