Need newest version of ZFS - STABLE or RELEASE?

[Fleet]

Hello,

I'm going to maintain some production servers running FreeBSD 9.1. I want them to always run the newest version of ZFS, should I run STABLE or can I somehow use STABLE ZFS in RELEASE? The IOPS of the servers are important for business.

If you are going to run production servers, you would be strongly advised to stick with RELEASE.

But I can install and use STABLE ZFS in a RELEASE install, right?

No.

ZFS is tightly integrated into the system and it can not be installed separately.
