I'm looking for feedback on the maturity of the native ZFS linux port released by LLNL. My google-fu is probably lacking but I missed reading credible reports on this specific version, besides "you need a lot of RAM".
A lot of spare RAM and CPU I have, to that's ok. I'd be running it on top of Debian Squeeze (would upgrade from Lenny-backports). The current setup uses a Dell PERC5 controller with 2 Raid 5 volumes. I would change that to a collection of RAID 0 volumes (one per connected drive --no JBOD mode per se on PERC5) and build storage redundancy in ZFS. I would be relying on NFS export of the ZFS volumes for the client machines. I could test all this by myself but building a representative trail setup would require some planning. So before embarking on a perilous journey, I'd appreciate some feedback from a few good men (or women.) Note that I am not interested in the FUSE version. My request pertains specifically to the zfsonlinux.org stuff.
