Do I remember correctly that ZFS in Linux currently is only
available via
FUSE?
That is correct. While NTFS3g has proven that you can get rather
good performance out of FUSE, the people porting ZFS to FUSE haven't
had much time for optimization, as I believe they're still working
out the "get everything working" part. :)
If Sun ever re-licenses ZFS as GPL (whatever version), then we'll
likely see a kernel port of it to Linux.
Until then, if you want ZFS, one of the OpenSolaris distributions is
your best bet, and of those, Nexenta (think Solaris + Ubuntu) is
likely the easiest to get started with. If only I could figure out
the archane disk layout tool...
