Hi

Have you seen the following wikis?

http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide

http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_for_Databases

I'd carefully think whether the ZFS Copy on Write paradigm is appropriate for your needs.

That being said there are excellent reasons *for *using ZFS in certain use cases it is an administrative breeze and the end-to-end checksumming provides high levels of data integrity.
