I'm curious about something. Wouldn't ZFS `send` and `recv` be a
perfect fit for Apple Time Machine in Leopard if glued together by
some scripts? In this scenario you could have an external volume and
simply send snapshots to it and reciprocate as needed with recv.
Also, it would seem that Apple really can't push ZFS into Mac OS X
until evacuation of data and removal of vdevs is supported for pools.
Does hfs+ support this? I see no evidence that it does.
Once this is in place it would seem reasonable that Apple would more
than want to push ZFS rw support into Leopard. This would then allow
for very flexible and robust usage for desktop users as well in that
folks will very often wish to manipulate their storage arrangement in
terms of saying "woops, I didn't mean to put that volume here
permanently, I need to remove it!" This would especially be true of
firewire/usb drives for "backups" and all sorts of questions that
would arise. A simple, `remove` would be perfect to cure these blues.
More likely, they are trying to make sure it fits their integration
time schedules. There is still a lot of development being done on ZFS.
