I am curious. What are you using ZFS for?

    I know. I mostly ask, because a lot of people these days keep nearly every kind of data in databases and ZFS usually isn't the best thing for this (depending on the exact use case of course). It's by far one of the most exciting file systems, for storing "raw" data, but if you are having another layer, your data base system it (again, based on the exact use case) can become an unbearable overhead performancewise.

  I'm personally using it on my set of freebsd jailed boxes to provide quota-ing in a useful way, de-duplication of shared files in those quotaed trees, compression of things like the ports tree, etc. Subvolumes are sexy as hell in how you can have one filesystem, but give lots of different attributes to various bits and pieces.
