Not really. ZFS is only available on Solaris right now. I seem to

Right, remembered after reading the 'licens= ing', it was only available through FUSE.=A0

I= just checked on BTRFS. wiki.kernel.org says BTRFS is stable as of 2.6.29 but still=A0
masked on Gentoo. I will read more about it later and decide whether t= o convert.=A0
