FreeBSD is also a very mature platform for ZFS/postgresql.

It is more mature than Linux for sure, but still not up to par with Solaris for some features. See this comment for example: http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27269032-. I do like FreeBSD very much, but it seems to me that if I want to use ZFS to its fullest, I should go with OpenIndiana.

In the benchmark you link, ZFS+opti (orange line, physical machine benchmark) performs well because it has sync=disabled, which is risky to say the least ...

Hello,

Since ZFS on Linux (http://zfsonlinux.org/) has been declared production ready last March (v0.6.1), I am curious if anyone is using it with PostgreSQL on production servers (either main or backup) and if so, what is their experience so far ?

Thank you,

Sébastien

FYI, a recent (Sept. 2013) presentation I found about using ZoL in production (albeit, not with PostgreSQL) and the current status of the project:
