ZFS was a disaster.

That is what we were using until today, when the power went off  and the 
zfs pool ended up corrupted and irrecoverable.

Three other times we had power failures, the zpool ended with some errors.

But, all the times, the UFS partitions remained intact.

I won't use ZFS for a long time.
