Hi David, 

I am currently working on improving RAID in NetBSD with Greg Oster (oster@),
currently adding n-way RAID 1, and then add scrubbing. I have it on my To-do list
to extensively work on ZFS because i’ve seen a few reports and previous discussions
that were not “good” with ZFS. I wanted to discuss it first before touching ZFS code
but since it has come up, I am very happy to take on that work.
