Ah, this is excellent, thankyou for all the work on this. A question though - is the intnet to keep these as ports, or will the ZoL code be merged back into the base, replacing the existing ZFS implementation? cheers, -pete.

However the port is super useful for testing new ZoL versions / fixes, so we'll probably want to keep both around for the time being. -- Kris Moore Vice President of Engineering iXsystems, Inc Ph: (408) 943-4100 Ph: (408) 943-4101 The Groundbreaking TrueNAS M-Series - Enterprise Storage & Servers Driven By Open Source
