AFAIR Pawel explained that he intends to backport it to RELENG7, but it will take some time because it is a huge amount of code. Also, it depends on other merges from -current by other people that are not directly ZFS-related. Therefore the time frame is currently unknown. On the other hand, 8-current seems to run quite stable at the moment; I have it running on a workstation for several weeks without problems. So if you're eager to try ZFS 13, you might consider upgrading to -current. Also note that there are improvements in -current (by Alan Cox) that fix issues related to kmem in 64bit mode (FreeBSD/amd64). ZFS will very much benefit from those improvements; you don't have to tune kmem anymore in order to avoid panics. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
