Hello,

During some periods of extensive ZFS testing and tuning I began to =
wonder is it possible
to make at least some of the ZFS tunables sysctls so that they can be =
modified on a runing system?
I don't know if that's possible even on Solaris, so maybe the code =
assumes that they are not to be
changed on a running system, but anyways seems like a useful thing that =
would save a tons of reboots globally :)

Regards,
Niki Denev
