Btw, right now, we've just built a new server as Ubuntu, because my manager wants to use it to test zfs, including its ability to a) act as a RAID, directly, without an underlying RAID, and b) encrypt the whole thing natively.
ZFS on linux was originally an EL project. Ubuntu support came later.
I've been running ZoL on CentOS for years. Wonderful stuff. SysAdmin's dream, although we keep all ZoL boxes off any public access and update on a carefully tested schedule to ensure that no RPM version weirdness happens.
Ok, how's it scale on large filesystems? My manager was running some tests this morning, 37TB f/s, and he said it seemed slow to respond. Also, dedup seemed to take actual time - minutes. I saw him as he copied a 1G test file to two or three other names, and it took time to go up, then level off in size, with "size" being what we saw with df.
