This may be irrelevant to even mention, but most stuff i find on The

to linux folk (i included) so there may be a little chest-thumping
going on since ZFS is mostly a Solaris thing (as is dtrace...). Dunno

I find it very relevant since I need some good documentation before I
try out ZFS, and that documentation needs to be up to date.  I haven't
really looked yet, but that I didn't come across such documentation with
what I've been looking for yet makes me wonder if there even is one.

The man page is fully up to date. And there is plenty of other documentation directly linked from the landing page of the ZFS-on-Linux site. The one the LMGTFY "I'm feeling lucky" link I sent earlier gets you to.

I just have a bad feeling about ZFS.  That it has theoretical advantages
and may work fine on Solaris and perhaps on Linux if you know it well
enough isn't sufficient.  It's not even supported in Debian despite
Debian has a package for pretty much everything.

See previous comment about Debian induced solipsism. Thinking that anything not in the Debian repository is not worth using is analogous to thinking that something must be true because you read it on the internet.

If you are at that level of advancement when it comes to systems administration you need to progress further first, at least to the point where you are comfortable with straying off the straight and narrow.
