I did indeed make it work. The (only) reason I didn't check it in was because there were some collisions between freebsd's older zlib which ppp depends on and the one in the solaris layer. Both bz and I were kind of busy at the time. > I'm all for making ZFS be compilable as part of the kernel itself, but > it is really very low on my list, because ZFS simply works now and also > because as I said, it was far from trivial for me to do it. > If someone who is more familiar with the bits responsible for kernel > compilation wants to work on including ZFS there, I'll gladly provide > help from the ZFS side. I think this can be done without much work, (re)work out the dependencies.
