I'm a happy user of ZFS :-) Anyway, I was wondering ... is this patch also applicable for 7.0-RELEASE, or is it only for -CURRENT? If it's the former I'll go ahead and apply the patch to see if I run into any problems. I just don't have a kernel debugger enabled, nor do I have WITNESS in the kernel (for obvious reasons). I don't know if this is a major problem or not. Sorry for the perhaps RTFM questions - I'm usually not really into this sort of stuff, but I'd like to help out where possible. Thanks, Jorn
