--I started with Freenas (and will be testing it further on a USB stick install) but** have now moved to PCBSD as my primary ZFS testing OS. :-)
** after several head-beating hours trying to get it to install...
--Initial ZFS timing results are very promising (note: NO tweaking has been done yet on the PCBSD host except for ' zpool import ' from freenas, and "noatime" on the ZFS pool -- and I'm using couple-years-old Commodity off-the-shelf hardware with the default 1500-byte Ethernet frames - NOT Jumbo):
