I don't know. Do you think zfs is so much better that it is worth dictating which operating system you use? We use xfs on the file server at the Math department at the University Of Wisconsin. Last time I rebuilt our file server, I switched us from ext4 to xfs. But I think either would really have been fine. I do rue the day I switched us from debian to ubuntu server though.

I would expect the ZFS support in FreeBSD to be better, although apparently the Linux version (outside of the mainline kernel due to license compatibility issues) is now what the other operating systems have decided to work from in future releases.
ZFS is reputedly very good (data check sums, copy-on-write, redundancy if you have multiple drives, etc.). I suppose my recommendation is really for ZFS, and if you want to take the ZFS for Linux route with a separately compiled kernel module, that option seems to be open too.

Out of curiosity, why would you suggest Free BSD over Linux? For a blind person, aren't the choices for Free BSD to have a machine with a serial port or get sighted assistance to install it?

I would be inclined to suggest obtaining a small machine, adding drives to it, installing FreeBSD, setting up zfs, editing configuration files for Samba, nfs or whatever you need... and the problem goes away.
