My disk storage is on ZFS, on Solaris 10.

I previously tried FreeBSD on the machine, also with ZFS, since I wanted
the combination of ZFS and 3Ware 9500S support, but stability was ...
poor (to put it politely).  The kernel would panic practically any time
I so much as looked at the ZFS array.

To be fair, that was FreeBSD 7, not 8, but the immense difficulty I had
trying to find a solution and the fact that the only documented
"solution" I found was not only wrong, but actually made the problem
worse, did not endear me to FreeBSD.  That was my second FreeBSD
experience, and both have been bad.  It won't get a third chance from me.
