The whole point of disk based FDE is that it doesn't require support in 
the filesystem.  So I have no plans to change ZFS to support drive based 
FDE.

Note that FDE has some very significant disadvantages compared to ZFS 
Crypto but also some advantages.  I'll be putting up some articles on my 
blog (http://blogs.sun.com/darren/) about this soon.
