My $0.02. IIRC, I don't think ZFS is supported (or fully supported at any rate) in linux. I just did some research into that and couldn't find anything recent about ZFS support for newer kernels. Granted, I could have just missed it. If you want to use ZFS on that box for data storage, look at FreeNAS. It's fantastic. Of course, it would render that box unusable as a desktop for the most part, but there are various Linux distros that can be run in 'jails' on it that may or may not work for your needs.
Hello, Because of license incompatibility zfs can not be distributed with the linux kernel. However a work around as been found by providing zfs as a kernel module,etc and ZFS for linux is ready for wide spectrum deployment; from desktop to supercomputers.
