The ZFS bits in NetBSD seem old, and it also seems that they don't quite
100% work.
Now, it seems OpenZFS is the locus of ZFS activity, and that's how
FreeBSD's ZFS code is maintained:
http://open-zfs.org/wiki/Main_Page
Thus, it seems that it would be good to extend OpenZFS to support NetBSD
(or extend NetBSD's glue code to support OpenZFS), and to have recent
OpenZFS code in NetBSD's src/external.
I have put this notion in the "Finish ZFS" project page:
https://wiki.netbsd.org/projects/project/zfs/?updated
I am curious if anyone who understands ZFS better has opinions on whether
my notion of heading to OpenZFS makes sense, and how hard it is likely
to be.
