ZFS works work containers and works well with docker.
ZFS is really really amazing, beyond the SAN. It's fantastic for both desktops and servers.
The lack of adaption is problematic, but I use it for all sorts of things.
Like mirroring snapshots between prod and qa, including the database and assets. I can test complicated software upgrades or database migrations quickly and repeatily. This is not something docker can't do by itself.
Much of the stuff I do with ZFS I can now do with btrfs, but ZFS is just so much nicer to work with.
