The dynamic inheritance that one can do with filesets (allowing a new fileset to be carved out of an existing one perhaps with different properties) makes the use of the /etc files very troubled especially when you delegate fileset administration to someone other than root. The ZFS legacy marker more or less says that I don't want to do that with this entity and won't make use of these abilities. -- Brad Spencer - b...@anduin.eldar.org - KC8VKS - http://anduin.eldar.org
