I tried the fuse-zfs to mount my PC-BSD zfs partition without luck. I'd like the ability to create zpools for my linux /home and use the snapshots feature for my backups. PC-BSD comes with DTrace but I've been procrastinating in learning it. You are right DTrace is a beast, but the demos looks so damn cool, it is very enticing.

Put your /home on a ZFS filesystem exported via NFS.
Or use rsync to backup to a ZFS filesystem.
Both will allow you to use snapshots.

ZFS is already ported to Linux via FUSE. There's ZERO chance it'll be integrated into the kernel as long as the CDDL and the GPL are incompatible. Same goes for Dtrace.. However, I'm not 100% sure, but I'm sure DTrace will need hooks compiled into the kernel (unless modules will do), which will allow for Dtrace to function.
I've used DTrace minimally. It's a beast to get to learn, but from what I've heard, it's quite impressive. Bring it on in Snow Leopard and FreeBSD 8!!
