I recognize that under FreeBSD 7 a simple "zfs list" as non-root just
results in:
| rse$ zfs list
| internal error: failed to initialize ZFS library
| rse$ _
Is this really intentional or just a bug?
This for instance prevents non-privileged users to run my snapshot(8)
frontend (see http://people.freebsd.org/~rse/snapshot/)...
| rse$ snapshot list
| Filesystem User User% Snap Snap% Snapshot
| rse$ _
...although there are actually snapshots (this time run as root):
| root# snapshot list
| Filesystem User User% Snap Snap% Snapshot
| /j/tot 1GB 17.1% 3MB 0.0% hourly.2
| /j/tot 1GB 17.1% 1024KB 0.0% hourly.1
| /j/tot 1GB 17.1% 1024KB 0.0% hourly.0
| /j/en 2GB 27.1% 2MB 0.0% hourly.2
| /j/en 2GB 27.1% 2MB 0.0% hourly.1
| /j/en 2GB 27.1% 2MB 0.0% hourly.0
| root# _
