Hello all,

libzfs_core and the rewritten locking code around dsl_sync_dataset
have been commited to -HEAD:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/248571

The scheduled merge date to 9-STABLE is around Apr 21, 2013.

Early adopters can test new code by applying the following patch
(against stable/9 r248611):
http://people.freebsd.org/~mm/patches/zfs/stable-9-248611-lzc.patch.gz

Steps to apply to a clean checked-out source:
cd /path/to/src
patch -p0 < /path/to/stable-9-248611-lzc.patch

Alternatively you can download a pre-compiled amd64 mfsBSD image for testing:
(see http://mfsbsd.vx.sk for more information on mfsBSD)
http://mfsbsd.vx.sk/files/testing/

I am primarily interested in the following areas of feedback:
- stability
- backward compatibility (new kernel, old utilities)

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.
