Hello everyone,

I know -stable is supposed to be, well, stable, but I seem to be in a
bit of a pickle.

I'm trying to import my zfs file system from a Macintosh machine. It
was created at version 8. Being new to zfs, I did not realise that
FreeBSD would be running at a lower version; I thought zfs was zfs! Of
course, trying to import my zpool fails, complaining that the version
is too new.

freebsd# zpool import bigstore
cannot import 'bigstore': pool is formatted using a newer ZFS version

So either I want to downgrade the zpool, or upgrade zfs on FreeBSD.
Does anyone know if I'll be able to import zfs v8, or am I wasting my
time? I'd prefer to follow -stable, but if I must follow -current,
then golly goshkins, I'll have no choice!

It is planned to update to a newer ZFS release in HEAD, but this has not happened yet (let alone in 7.x). I don't know if it is possible to downgrade a pool - you should check the ZFS documentation/support materials.
