The question was about ZFS, not XFS. In my experience XFS is great. Only
problem I've had is that xfs_check (I think it was) aborts when it receives
an EIO ... so I wasn't able to rescue data from my dying drive. But that's
not really XFS' fault...

I was excited to try out ZFS because my experience with UFS (I think that's
the other filesystem name) has been ... less than satisfactory. UFS was
always horribly slow (I'd say even worse than NTFS, but my Sun box is a very
old Ultra1, so it's not really a fair comparison), and got very unhappy when
it wasn't cleanly unmounted. Unfortunately, Solaris 10 doesn't support my
hardware. :(
