I’ve tried more than one volume on the same Zpool, but with separate ZFS share 
for every volume. I didn’t find any performance issues compared to XFS on LVM.


PS: ZFS by default stores the extended attributes in a hidden directory instead 
of extending the file inode size like what XFS do!

There is a problem in ZFS on Linux implementation which the function 
responsible for deleting the files, it deletes only the files and forgets to 
delete the hidden directory which stores the extended attributes, and there 
seem no interest from ZFS on Linux community to fix this bug, it’s filed since 
2013.

There is an option to change this to write the extended attributes to the inode 
instead of a hidden directory.

# zfs set xattr=sa <POOL_NAME>
# zfs set acltype=posixacl <POOL_NAME>
