How well does ZFS work on removable media?  In a RAID configuration?  Are there 
issues with matching device names to disks?

I've had a zpool with 4-250Gb IDE drives in three places recently:

- in an external 4-bay Firewire case, attached to a Sparc box
- inside a dual-Opteron white box, connected to a 2-channel add-in IDE
  controller
- inside the dual-Opteron, connected via 4 IDE-to-SATA convertors to
  the motherboard's built-in SATA controller

In each case, once 'format' found the drives, ZFS was easily able to
import the pool without any fuss or issues.  Performance was miserable
when running off the add-in IDE controller, but great in the other two
cases.

As far as I can see, this stuff generally just works.
