Let's also not forget about licensing and patent issues for zfs on linux: http://kerneltrap.org/node/8066
zfs on linux is way too alpha and zfs with fuse is practically useless, except to play with at the moment. fyi and a tad off topic: if you wanna play with zfs (other than using solaris or via fuse)... there is a rumored read/write zfs support on os x 10.5.1 but that's heavy on rumor right now. zfs is lovely on paper... we may get to it someday, or something else may surpass it. for either case, heavy emphasis on: "may". on one hand, ext3 and/or jfs is the way to go for linux. you might also want to test/look into xfs, if it fits your requirement. also checkout ext4... which is right now not deemed stable but it is "more compatible" with ext3.
