Marcel, a question about zfs. On r238540 I get: # dmesg|grep -i zfs ZFS filesystem version: 5 ZFS storage pool version: features support (5000) # # zfs upgrade This system is currently running ZFS filesystem version 5. All filesystems are formatted with the current version. # Is version 5 correct? I was expecting version 28.
