I've been testing freebsd current on amd64 using zfs for all
partitions except for /, /etc, /boot as a samba-server and haven't
seen any problems regarding stability. I have approx. 8.2 TB of
storage and it has been very stable after the gcc 4.2 upgrade.

We are phasing this server into production this afternoon. Overall
Pawel's work porting zfs to FreeBSD has been a tremendous effort :-)
Kudos to him.
