Any thoughts or ideas?
I'd be surprised if anyone is using zfs/fuse/linux combinations seriously. Why not just run your archive server on opensolaris or freebsd where zfs runs natively? Or if you want to pretend it is a linux distro, perhaps nexenta http://www.nexenta.org/os or their commercial nexentastor version would work. They have a mostly-ubuntu userland running on an opensolaris kernel.
Yes, agreed with Les Mikesell. Running zfs on Linux is not a good idea at all, at least for this moment :-)
It works (at least I didn't have any data loss in the two months I was using it), but is painfully slow (fuse has its price). Nexenta is the next best thing if you want "kinda linux like" environment, altough linux zones on solaris might also be worth checking.
