ZFS sounds nice, but we have no experience with opensolaris or ZFS.
And I heard in the past that not all of ZFS's features are ready for
production.

bit off topic:
Right now I'm looking for a cheap storage solution that is based
on supermicro chassis with 36 drive bays (server) or 45 drive bays
(expansion unit) in 4 HU. Frightening, that would be 810 TB in one
Rack (36 + 45 HDDs x 5 x 2 TB, 40 HU) with 5 servers. Only problem is
power, cooling and.... backup.
