Hey All,

I would like to start a discussion about using ZFS as disk devices.  The couple 
of questions I have.  

Is it supported?

I've heard the 7.3.2 now "supports" ZFS, but does that mean just as a backup 
source, or as a target also?

I also saw some minor discussions of people using ZFS/adv_file devices in test 
environments, any comments, good/bad experiences with that setup?

I currently have 6 x 7TB VxVM/VxFS devices that I backup to, I would eventually 
like to migrate to ZFS storage pools to help resolve utilization issues.(ie 
some are full, some are ½ used)

Any comments other question whatever, I really just want to get a discussion 
going on this topic to see what people's thoughts are and what they've tried so 
far.

Thanks,

Joel
