Its not so bad: this machine is doing backups with rsync, sometimes
running 50 simultaneously. This workload doesn't contain any need for
synchronous operations, and any files which didn't get written after a
crash can simply be re-rsync. But I hope eventually it will be fixed!
I'm talking about the most commonly-encountered problem: kmem
exhaustion. People want to be able to install FreeBSD then say "Okay!
Time to give ZFS a try!" on some separate disks, and have it work.
Personally I don't think there's much point worrying about how to boot
off ZFS at this stage until the code is up to date, stable, and running
7-STABLE branch.
Until then I will also prefer to have a UFS root volume and just run ZFS
for /usr and /home, because I still don't completely trust ZFS and I
have a high value on being able to boot the system and have my tools
available in /bin and /sbin.
