Patch-ID# 144500-19
is the kernel update that is the kernel from 10U10
Thank you for flagging this, as Oracle support is telling me I have to
update to this release to get zpool 26 which fixes a zfs bug we are
running into, but if it breaks the ACL inheritance we have been using,
then it is non-starter.

I cannot confirm this. So far I have one system at this kernel release
and have not yet been able to import the zpool with the problem. The
bug I am running into is that destruction of a snapshot runs the
system out of RAM. The snapshot is a partial zfs recv. I am told this
is a known bug (destruction of large snapshots can run the system out
of RAM as the destroy operation commits as one TXG). There is a fix,
but it in the on-disk format, so just zpool upgrading to version 26
will not fix existing snapshots. We only have 32 GB in this system and
the faulty snapshot *should* be about 2.5 TB.
