That part is working well. The problem comes when you need to add things like the linproc filesystem. If you add that to fstab, the rc scripts will try to mount that before the zfs filesystems and fail because rcorder put mountcritlocal before zfs. Should a system that boot from zfs have it the other way around maybe? I understand that my kind of setup is in the minority, but I guess that more and more people will start to use zfs as their primary filesystem.
