Unfortunately wrapping libzfs will hardly fulfill this goal and the more I dig into the code the more I realize that we will need to wrap (or reimplement) some of the logic of the zfs and zpool commands. I'm also confident that building a good library on top of this wrapper will give us a very powerful tool to play with from Java. > -- richard > > -- Ελευθερία ή θάνατος "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
