   Wow, I'm glad I've never hit that.  I'm using ZFS on Solaris 
(SmartOS) for server tasks, but on my desktop, my home directory is 
handled by ZFS.  Been doing that for at least a decade.  The only 
negative things I've noticed there is performance; the translation layer 
to the Linux system calls is pretty slow.
