Howdy, When will we get the latest openzfs features on illumos / illumos zfs?
I use root with zfs configuration on linux that is pretty power efficient (well balanced to optimize battery life). Due to a lot of features missing I do feel the pain as illumos zfs is lagging behind and to use that on my notebook. Best!
