Indeed, for nexenta HA, you need commercial version with ha plugin. (and 2 nexenta node with a shared jbod).
OpenFiler is good, but it really miss snapshot/clone feature of zfs.

see http://zfsonlinux.org/ . While the Proxmox developers have been producing 2.0, ZFS for linux has been getting made. From thar site:
" Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to multiple platforms and now there is a a functional Linux ZFS kernel port. The port includes a functional and stable SPA, DMU, ZVOL, and Posix Layer (ZPL). Please see our FAQ and example pages for details."
"Produced at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory"
I have installed zfs on two proxmox 2.0 systems. These are testing / /backup systems as home. Will also set up one at work and use zfs send/receive instead of rsync to send backups off site .
I put install notes at http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/ZFS#Native_ZFS_for_Linux_on_Proxmox_2.0 . I tried a few ways , but in the end used git .

Is it really stable/production ready ?
on the website:
" Please keep in mind the current 0.5.2 stable release does not yet support a mountable filesystem"
Do you have some speed benchmark ?
It could be interessing for snapshotting/cloning vm on proxmox local storage
I'll have a look at it, thanks for the information.
Another promising storage is ceph, with rados block support.
it use btrfs, so snapshot/cloning is supported. and it support replication across the cluster
some bench here :

I think it's time to add snapshot/cloning functionnality to proxmox 2.1

It'd be good to see a storage type 'local zfs' .

"One of the interface layers available in the ZFS on Linux port is the ZVOL. The ZVOL layer allows you to create a virtual block device in a ZFS storage pool. While this may not immediately seem like a big deal it does open up some interesting possibilities. For example, your virtual block device is now backed by whatever level of ZFS data replication you like (mirror, raidz, raidz2, etc) all with online scrubbing. Your virtual block device also has fast snapshots due to ZFS’s copy on write transaction model. This allows you do some interesting things like format an ext2 file system which uses a ZVOL based block device and mount it on your system. Here’s an example how...."
So regular linux filesystems can be made. That is probably a good idea to use with openvz, as openvz works best with ext3 .
