That's what I found out, wanted to share and get other's opinion on.

I did not complain.  I thought it might work, it might not, so I tried.

BTW last night I tried ZFS on FreeBSD 7.  I got a panic when trying to make it
import my existing pool at first.  Then I tried again another way and did get 
it to 
recognize it. My simple, non-representative performance measurement was even
slower than zfs-fuse (something like 4-5 minutes for the find, no apparent 
caching
effect), and I had many USB read errors along the way as well.  It looks like
FBSD 7 with ZFS is even more immature than zfs-fuse at this time.  That's ok, 
it is a CVS snapshot of FreeBSD "CURRENT" after all.

I have been a long time happy FreeBSD user before I switched to Ubuntu, I am
definitely not complaining about this.  Sometimes things work, sometimes not.

I guess I will still checkout OpenSolaris once my download finishes.  I'm in
experimentation mood :)

I think that will happen.  There's much talking about it already.

My perspective currently is to find something for my own everyday use.  That's
for today, not forever. I may change again later. As I said,
I am somewhat in experimentation mood.

Thanks for your comments.
