            Bug ID: 240115
           Summary: fsdb man page does not mention ZFS, and probably wrong
                    about btime being UFS2 only

It's a bit suspicious that FFS and UFS2 and both explicitly mentioned in the
fsdb man page, but ZFS is not at all.

The sentence with UFS2 is probably wrong: "Note that btime is available on UFS2
file systems only."  ZFS also supports birth time.  Does fsdb really not
support changing it on ZFS?

The sentence with FFS is perhaps incomplete: "Use this tool with extreme       
caution--you can damage an FFS file system beyond what fsck(8) can repair". 
Can one damage other file systems too?
