Known Problems of FreeBSD's ZFS implementation
- i386 and other 32-bit architectures are still definitely not recommended for use with ZFS due to address space issues. If you still want to go that way, please read the ZFSTuningGuide.
- tmpfs(5) isn't recommended for use with ZFS because it can suddenly run out of space due to interaction with the ZFS ARC. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2011-January/060867.html
