I have not, but I suspect the performance will be worse than pure zfs and ufsdio. For databases, you should try to minimize the CPU cost per IO, and having to go thorugh UFS, then ZFS will only make it worse. > I'm trying my best to get rid of UFS, but ZFS isn't up to par on >the speed of UFS direct io for MDBMS.
