Yea... that would seem to have a lot of potential. Virtualization
sitting on ZFS, assuming you have hardware that makes ZFS happy.

The main issue would be ZFS competing rather heavily with the guest OS
for memory. What I read about is a lot of shops keeping ZFS on an
independent file server and having the virtual machines use something
like iSCSI.

Heh... ironically in order to test virtualization to get rid of
machines, I need more machines...
