Hello-

ZFS, in its current implementations, creates device nodes for emulated
volumes ("zvols") in /dev/zvol/<poolname>/<volumename>.  Though we are
not currently able to create nodes dynamically (a la devfs), I can use
pre-mknod(8)ed devices during development.

Are there plans to add this functionality eventually?  Maybe ZFS will be
a good motivation for this, once we have some working parts.

Just a Heads-Up.
