FreeBSD + ZFS on a production server?

Thanks for the quick answers!

Yes, I assumed that because Sun can implement and optimize ZFS to fit
OpenSolaris, while we run the risk with FreeBSD to implement bugs
while we implement ZFS.

As you might have read, I have quite a lot of RAM available on this
server (4GB), but ofcource I want the operating system to take as
little as possible so that I have as much RAM as possible over for the
server processes to work with (mostly web-server and mysql-server).

According to a page I have found it says that some basic
(FreeBSD-specific) functions are not ready, how does that affect ZFS
in general?
