Hi, My understanding is ZFS itself is a great file system by combining fs/vm with the numerous feature added to it.
In the similar lines existing fs/vm and array snapshot are still in use and customers is requesting similar kind of support for zfs. So it would be very great help of getting similar interface to match the use cases looking for along with the new features. If a customer is having Solaris 9/10 with UFS /SVM stack, back applications run in the mentioned method ( earlier thread and other threads). If somebody moves from UFS/SVM stack to ZFS, customer expects the backup application should run in the similar configuration (at least for now). To match the requirements, zfs/zpool support is required. Off course down the line I am sure applications starts new methods provided by zfs to support it.
