UFS is a traditional Unix filesystem, and will not mangle your filenames.

ZFS apparently acts like a case-sensitive HFS+: it still tries to 
normalize to UTF-8 (and does it badly, at that - picking an Apple-specific 
almost-NFD form of normalization rather than the more sensible NFC form).

So ZFS may not corrupt cases, but it still corrupts UTF-8 filenames.
