My gut reaction to that would be that it would probably be easier for the ioctl interface to change than the libzfs interface, but that's my personal opinion :). If you do decide to make changes for other systems, it would be nice to leave in the libzfs code that exists for platforms that have it, if that's allowable/possible. --S _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
