ZFS will run on i386, however since ZFS requires lots of RAM it has been said that it doesn't make sense to run it on systems with less than 1Gb of RAM dedicated to ZFS. I believe the requirement for large amounts of RAM will be slightly eased in later versions of ZFS (well, it still like RAM but will not hang your system when it runs out quite so easily). Read these instructions on how to get i386 to play with ZFS: http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSTuningGuide > - It's said you can't boot from a ZFS pool.
