I only have a single disk in it, but I just want to play with ZFS snapshots and jails.
Any suggestions or helpful advice for a ZFS noob ?
I currently run ZFS on 1GB RAM box (amd64 through), it uses 2TB ZFS mirror (90%+ full), used for SAMBA and NFS, also for other services, works like a charm without any tuning:

Code:
# uptime
11:24AM  up 148 days,  2:26, 2 users, load averages: 0.04, 0.18, 0.11
So 2GB RAM is more then enough, I run 8.2-STABLE amd64 from about 2011-04.

... any reasons to stick to i386?
