 Thanks for the comment Arnaud.   For comparative benchmarking on 
 Phoronix.com http://Phoronix.com, Michael invariable leaves it in the 
 default configuration 'in the way the developers or vendor wanted it for 
 production'.  This is by rule.

A quick question: why is ZFS used in the benchmark?

Both operating systems were in their stock configuration aside from
FreeBSD 9.0 using ZFS.

UFS is the default on FreeBSD, not ZFS. FreeBSD was not left in the
default configuration.

   it did indeed!
   any reason why this should not be the default behaviour?
  
  Personally, I want to have the snapshot, but not see the directory 
  otherwise so that
  it doesn't get scooped up by rsync et al inadvertently
 
 btw, why use rsync if 'zfs send| zfs recv' work realy nice?

If I wanted to rsync the contents of /path/to/foo/ to another computer,
rsync would unintenionally pick up the contents of /path/to/foo/.zfs/,
so it's best to have .zfs hidden most of the time.

Other commands such as cp should also have this problem.

Setting snapdir to visible should fix this right away:

 While it certainly might make sense to drop BIND out of the base, I'm not
 sure dropping bind tools as well from it is the best decision.  How hard
 it will be to continue maintaining bind tools inside the base (so the
 critical ones like dig and nslookup still will be available), while moving
 the rest of it (the server itself and supporting tools) to the port?
 
 Hi, All.
 
 I'm agree with Stas. If it is not so hard to maintain bind-tools in the 
 base,
 It is very useful to still having them in base system.

+1 here. Dig and some of the other tools are extremely useful and
important, so it would be nice if they were in the base system instead
of a separate port.
