i am trying this with some success.  let's see how the day goes.

how the hell is a sysadmin supposed to guess all this <bleep>?  if the
freebsd sysadmin needs to comb through 42 threads on the MLs, read wikis
with no clear "do this," and play with trial and error, this stuff is
just not going to fly.  

imiho, zfs can not be called production ready if it crashes if you do
not stand on your left leg, put your right hand in the air, and burn
some eye of newt.
