I have to admit that my virtualized servers are not running on top of
ZFS-backed storage... because the company already has a quite sizable EMC
VNX storage, and it's a shame to not use that behemoth... ;-)

At the moment, the ZFS-backed storage is used to store our email archive
system (using MailArchiva), and with more than 15'000 emails per day, it
has been performing flawlessly.

That said, when I was hunting around for information on ZFS before taking
the plunge, a *lot* of discussion revolves around using ZFS as the storage
back-end for virtualization, be it using KVM or VMware.
