Indeed it is now possible to create disk images or partitions formated in ZFS (screen capture included). However, it seems that it is not possible yet to install the OS on a ZFS partition.

Speaking of OS X and filesystems, Slashdot recently had a thread going about Mac automated backup solutions. pesc brought up this gem: http://blog.plasticsfuture.org/2006/03/05/the-state-of-backup-and-c... While the writeup is generally about backup software, it's goes into a lot of detail about how OS X handles metadata.

Brief synopsis: be glad you aren't in the business of making automatic backup software for Macs!
