Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses different ZFS then Linux. Yes, it's crazy, but currently I think it is not guaranteed to be able to mount ZFS between these systems.

Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses different ZFS then Linux. Yes, it's crazy, but currently I think it is not guaranteed to be able to mount ZFS between these systems. Fortunately, FreeBSD is supposed to base their ZFS on Linux version in future.

ZFS is mountable between Linux and FreeBSD so long as optional features are configured in an appropriate way - this is a benefit of OpenZFS "version 5000" scheme. IIRC, one of the issues involves the layout of extended attributes. FreeBSD keeps to Solaris layout (which is essentially the same in concept to NTFS' one), while Linux for speeding up certain stuff (and because Linux can't use native xattrs to full extent anyway, due to using Irix API which is limited to PAGESIZE xattrs) has an optional feature to pack xattrs more densely.
