ZFS released for Mac OS X

I wanted to reduce the amount of constantly running computers. I still want a desktop/media center, I wanted to combine that with [ZFS] file server. I'll probably end up running FreeNAS + a desktop. The reason I don't want a FreeBSD or Illumos-based OS as a media center is because of no Netflix streaming support, and Flash performance is poor too.

I'm running ubuntu 11.10 + ZFS for Linux. Works great.

You'd want to split your front and back ends anyway, assuming you have a large TV somewhere else in the house.

Running MythTV or similar on a ZFS-enabled box that serves as a media archive, then a media optimized ARM or x86 box on the TV would be ideal.
