There's nothing you can do right now except for wait. By default the zfs implementation on osx will create a zfs version 6 zpool (to retain compat with the read-only kext that ships with 10.5) but once you've upgraded you can't go back.

There is a newer version of zfs for freebsd but it hasn't been commited yet. See http://kerneltrap.org/FreeBSD/BSDCan_2008_ZFS_Internals

Your only option is to wait until this is committed or patches are offered at least.
pjd is the man so it shouldn't be too long :-)

Hello everyone,

I know -stable is supposed to be, well, stable, but I seem to be in a
bit of a pickle.

I'm trying to import my zfs file system from a Macintosh machine. It
was created at version 8. Being new to zfs, I did not realise that
FreeBSD would be running at a lower version; I thought zfs was zfs! Of
course, trying to import my zpool fails, complaining that the version
is too new.

freebsd# zpool import bigstore
cannot import 'bigstore': pool is formatted using a newer ZFS version

So either I want to downgrade the zpool, or upgrade zfs on FreeBSD.
Does anyone know if I'll be able to import zfs v8, or am I wasting my
time? I'd prefer to follow -stable, but if I must follow -current,
then golly goshkins, I'll have no choice!

Kind regards,
Timothy.
