First, thank you for working on this. I must admit I am quite impressed by the amount of work you've achieved this last months, you are really a coding machine. I don't say others have done less, but maybe I am simply not smart enough to estimate their work. I don't know much about ZFS, but Sun states this is a "128 bits" filesystem. How will you handle this in regards to the FreeBSD kernel interface that is already struggling to be 64 bits compliant ? (I'm stating this based on this URL [1], but maybe it's not fully up-to-date.)
