I've heard of it, but didn't think of looking specifically for it; I was looking generally for answers to my problem (habit acquired since Alta Vista got pretty good way back when, getting stronger every week). Hmmm; apparently I needed to emphasize ZFS more in my search (which I deliberately didn't do, figuring that a non-ZFS explanation of labels would be just as good).
