I do most of my tests on i386 with 1GB of RAM. It isn't optimal hardware
configuration for ZFS, but it seems to work fine in most cases. For the
other archs I think I tried sparc64 in the past and Marcel committed
some fixes so it can work on ia64. When it comes to powerpc, arm, mips,
etc. I haven't done any testing and I wouldn't recommend ZFS for those
archs anyway. We should probably also warn about that.
