I'm not suggesting that it's currently broken I'm just asking if it would be
reasonable to special case our usage a little bit in order to avoid unnecessary

Hi all,
A while back, I posted here about the issues ZFS has with USB hotplugging

Hi,
As a part of the next stages of the time-slider project we are looking into
