Hi there, I only loaded up -BETA4 over the weekend, and went through the extra hoops to get a ZFS root (and everything else) to give that a spin. Aside from the already-reported lock-order-reversals on zfs unmount, I ran into a slight issue when using freebsd-update to go to -RC1 --- It nuked my ZFS-aware /boot/loader and left me stranded at the loader prompt. Now this is quite arguably self-inflicted and now that I'm aware of it I can make sure I'm careful around it in the future, but is there any chance of having either a) the loader be ZFS-aware by default (especially if ZFS is now considered production-ready)? or b) have freebsd-update notice that /boot/loader has changed from the initial install and leave it alone (and maybe whinge about it)? Either way, good work on getting ZFS in! Cheers /Johny
