Hi Adrian,

    I am not sure, but I didnt think ZFS 13 was ever going to be merged into 
7-stable. I thought the kernel memory requirements were to great (just going 
back in my memory on that one). Also, I think there are still a few bugs 
left with the zil being enabled (and/or prefetch) causing lockups on machine 
with a lot of IO. I know I have hit that bug a few times on my machine when 
using various torrent clients when they want to preallocate large amounts of 
diskspace.

    I personally cant wait until a later version of ZFS is imported that 
supports encryption. I can finally say good-bye to our GEOM ELI USB drives 
for backups!! Never the less, I am quite thankfull to thoes involved in 
porting V13 to FreeBSD. Its a wonderfull improvement and my FS of choice 
when installing on new machines (especially zfs boot)

Best regards,
Peg
