So far I used it for:
- A home server using a single ZFS mirror vdev, doing DNS, DHCP, hosting some of my e-mail using Postfix SMTP, Samba file serving, Apache/MySQL/PHP and Ruby on Rails web serving (mainly for testing), SABnzbd+ usenet downloading. It is a 32-bit Atom N270 mini-ITX box with 2 GB RAM, so needed some ZFS tweaking and does not get the disk performance it should (caps out on CPU). But it gets the job done, and it is stable and very power efficient..
- A corporate file server using ZFS, obvious goal: storing lots of stuff and doing it without data loss
- Two VPS instances to host web sites on that need a better connection and power stability than my home location can give me.
All running 8.2-RELEASE by the way.
I'm in the process of setting up a snappier ZFS home server using 9.0-RC1 to test things like new ZFS features and whatnot.
