I migrated my SOHO file server to FreeBSD specifically for ZFS.  While 
FreeBSD rocks as a server OS, I find that graphical desktops are better 
on Debian.  On Debian, I use BTRFS.  I also use only one device for the 
system drive, and keep it small (16 GB SSD and USB flash drives) to 
facilitate taking, storing, and restoring images.
