But, here it is: any chances to see these patches on 7-STABLE anytime... soon? I think there would be many more testers available (me included) than for HEAD. In my case, for example, all I could afford now is to set up a complete-test-only box with the HEAD code, which in turn wouldn't be a real test case as it would be "just" a test box for zfs. Whereas I could afford to test it in much more "real life" situation with 7-STABLE. My guess is that this would be the case for many others. The problem about HEAD is that there would be too many spots with potential problems (which ports work, which don't, scripts that might make 7-bound assumptions, etc..) so that I can't afford that for anything below "test only" boxes.. Just experienced a deadlock again on 7-STABLE with zfs, that's why I'm refreshing this... Kudos && Regards, Lorenzo
