I have been pricing together a system that meets the ZFS recommendations (64 bit, >=2Gb) to build a new file server.
Oh my god. Did I really just read this? 64 bit processor and greater than 2GB of ram just to run a *filesystem*? Better add some memory and processor oomph so that there is something left over to run an application or two.

The ZFS-fuse site seems stale, not sure if anybody is working on it so I don't think I'll be running it under Linux.
So that leaves FreeBSD and Solaris.
Maybe I'll try them both out in a dual boot environment and see which one is easiest to set up with Samba / CIFS, Apache, MySQL, PHP etc.
