It looks like a good idea. I am also wondering if we should provide ZFS support in our kernels. I have played a bit with it recently and its clearly a killer feature. Currently it is disabled because we have enabled ext2 support. Both have incompatible licenses (GPL v2 vs CDDL), so that would mean disabling ext2 support.

BTW, do you know if the futexes support in the FreeBSD 7.1 will be correct enough to use an NPTL glibc? -- .''`.
