Yes, but how do you know this is the label you wanted? Consider the case where there's more than one pool with this name. >> The other API that is available to us is /dev/zfs.

The less stable and standard is the ZFS API GRUB uses, the more likely is that one can argue it doesn't fall under the "system library" exception. Directly accessing on-disk structures is entirely different, since a data structure itself can't be copyrighted. > My reasons for looking at other options were primarily GPL driven, but given > that's not an issue, it's probably moot for now.

But I'm still concerned about the technical problems. -- Robert Millan _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
