Yeah, I'd love to know the answer too. The furthest I got into
investigating this last time was:

- does that help at all Niall?

The context to Niall's question is to extend Time Slider to do proper
backups to usb devices whenever a device is inserted.  I nearly had this
working with:

http://blogs.sun.com/timf/entry/zfs_automatic_backup_0_1

but I used pcfs on the storage device to store flat zfs send-streams as
I didn't have a chance to work out what was going on. Getting ZFS plug
n' play on usb disks would be much much cooler though[1].

        cheers,

[1] and I reckon that by relying on the 'zfs/interval' 'none' setting
for the auto-snapshot service, doing this now will be a lot easier than
my previous auto-backup hack.
