Hi,
this is true, but it might still be possible to use zfs in a  
distributed setup, as you can build pools from plain files that may be  
located anywhere on a network.
Automatic status notification would require some custom scripting and  
it is obviously not recommended by sun ;-)
The other drawback is that you can only use it as a single file- 
server, i.e. you have a performance bottleneck.
I have tested thi setup as a secondary backup pool and it worked well  
(albeit slow) for me.
