Sneaky devil, and after I spent most of Sunday trying to apply the big patch by hand to the most recent version of -current possible! Great job with this, though. ZFS support has to be one of the best features to work on from the viewpoint of users, and has a huge impact. On a serious note, what kind of test data would you like to have other than general "it's more stable now" feedback? Do you think the new code is any more likely to destroy all of our data the the old? Again, great work!
