Have you ruled out FreeBSD?
Why are so many people so hot for ZFS? From what little I've read
about it, it sounds very complex, which means bugs and a nasty learning
curve. Not something I'm interested in trusting my data to.
Then again, you give the zfs a name, and throw it a list of raw devices
and you can have that filesystem 'newfs'ed, writeable, nfsexported and
running in a more than usual fault-tolerant raided mode in mere seconds
regardless of size.
Some admins value that. (except the nfs part, but it's optional)
