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.
