ZFS is available in a FUSE filesystem.  As a userspace filesystem, it
means a huge number of context switches to get data between the disk,
to the kernel, to the FUSE userspace, back to the kernel, and to the
process trying to access the ZFS file.  That's not going to be high
performance.  For someone who wants to migrate from Solaris to Linux,
it might be useful, but I'm not sure you would really want to use a
ZFS/FUSE implementation in production.
