Though many people do, including on single disk ones.
Nearly everybody even the new freebsd.forum push ZFS like it is the greatest desktop/laptop feature ever, and only a few will include what platform it is actually suppose to be use for. But that's ok, they love it, but it took many months, I mean many months and now I think it's not need for simple dedicated web-servers and a overkill if you not running raid or something.

ZFS is designed for large data centers and file servers.
Thank Oko, FINALLY, now the facts hit the fan. No need for me to use it in simple dedicated web-server running in qJails. What a relieve

Give them some time. If you encounter problems while testing, submit a PR if no one else already did.
My problem is I stay a member of very few forums. No mail-List and no tweeters, because lots of times I'm way off-base so if I got to be a wrong or pitch a [B], it be at home-base and not world-wide. I been gutting Windows OS's from day-1 and FreeBSD is where it ends for me. I usually find something strange every other month and 60% are usually false alarms, hidden-software issues or even the OS main underlying tools being the issue and I bust them sometime. I post when I think others should be concern and if they agree, I hope they would pass it on to the developers or that developers know where to go to places that talk a little tech and don't play ball to please. I can't stop to learn who to report to, I got to keep working on it. Nobody can be an expert of every field in computing. Even a heart specialist knows very little of brain surgery. I think FreeBSD was just throwing it out as you indicated Beastie. This time, the first time EVER, I think it was a dangerous thing to do and it should have came with some notes, intentions, warning on what to do and not to do and how to install. I found that how-to link "AFTER" I destroyed one of my main partitions on my personal dream-machine. Than I found a extra drive to test on. Months of work and notes could have been destroyed. Suppose I did not have backup. No way I expected this out of a FreeBSD iso. A ISO designed for a dangerously dedicated disk install. Even the handbook say "DON'T DO IT".

I just hope all OS developers knows it's alright for them not to meet all expected dead-line functions every 6-months. Just skip it and re-think better for the next round. They came to far to be playing guesting games that could break the OS five to ten years down the line completely. Sometime it's not worth trying to keep up with the Jones and we are not about to turn our backs one of the Greatest OS in the World just because they needed more time to get something new, perfectly implemented. One thing for sure, I learn how to be more careful, but please, no more crash-course.

I been learning for a year this is the "daemonforums" ... known around the world to be cool, quite and not so active but I can assure you it on the map BIGTIME. Many other forums members speak highly of this place. I live on google to code Windows and soon BSD, so I can say to developers, don't forget to do a relaxing read here before commenting anything. Not everyone has time to join your mail-list and what nots. You do have people to do some searching other than your own mail-list and PR, don't you?

Carpetsmoker's, crew and some long-time members; I can tell you now, you guys are well known and you should be very proud.
