Right - but because FUSE lives in userland, my understanding is that the
performance is somewhere around 50% of what you'd see on Solaris.  On
top of which (at least, from my meager understanding of it) you're still
going to have to go through the Linux's VFS layer which is going to
reduce the usefulness of ZFS significantly wrt data integrity.
