ZFS is so awesome that for my file server I pick the OS based on ZFS support, not the other way around. Currently still running OpenSolaris on my ZFS server, probably will be FreeBSD next time I upgrade the hardware, but time will tell. Regardless of the OS, it will be ZFS!

OpenSolaris is dead, isn't it? Presumably you started when it was released/still alive, but hasn't it not had any security updates for years? Why not OpenIndiana/Other IllumOS variant?

  Well yes, it's actually OpenIndiana.

    Oh, OK. Thanks for clarifying.

Ditto, I run OpenIndiana but FreeBSD would be my next choice. Can't live without boot environments on physical hardware.
