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. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
