zfs=YES in rc.conf ?

I use it every day and have nothing else.

I don't think there is a lot of ZFS NetBSD specific out there. I do
not have at present a decent setup to test ZFS the way it usually is
used in large storage appiances with many disks, vdevs and pools; I
have just one 32GB MSata device used for file systems and a 250GB disk
used for zvols, the latter either shared via iSCSI or used directly by
NVMM virtual machines. I do use occasionaly snapshots and have tested
send/receive, but that's all.
