Are you trying to tell me that you were able to go from 8.0 to 8.1, using freebsd-update, with a ZFS-on-root boot? Or were you just saying "well, it *should* work", because it my experience it didn't.

I want someone who actually hacks the ZFS boot code to help me out. How do I reach them? Is ZFS a first-class FS now in the binary builds, or not? -- Randal L.
