So has anything changed since then? ZFS + Samba seems to be working fine for 
me.

I just installed the October snapshot, made a raidz and compiled the samba 
that was in ports. I've smb written many big files, many little files and 
havent been able to make it crash. This is on i386 with only 512mb ram. (it 
did kernal panic before I applied the zfs tunings)
