 Hi,
 today I tried PJDs ZFS patches. After invoking zpool create I always got
 a coredump.
 After further debugging I recognized gstat isn't working either, which
 seems to be because of an NTFS partition with a certain name not
 correctly encoded as XML specification requires. Its the German "Lokaler
 Datenträger" which is the defaultname for drive "c". So we have to deal
 with those characters. I'm voting against encoding specification or
 something like that, but I do recommend using the escape method. For
 example using "&#e4;"  for encoding E4 german ä and &#60; for a "<"
 character. This way we can escape all illegal characters.
 What do you suggest?
 regards,
