There is work in progress to port the most recent zfs version  
(including zfs diff support). In 9-current the zfs is at v15. There  
are patches available for 8.1 to move it to v15 (search the archive).

There is also some work on the way to port some non-intrusive changes  
from more recent zfs versions to the v15 in 9-current, but those are  
changes which do not break compatibility. This means there is no  
chance to get slog-removal support before the most recent zfs version  
is imported, except you do the work yourself or pay someone (pjd@ or  
mm@) to do the work.

Bye,
Alexander.

I said, no, but I have the new DEVO album.  Cops have no sense of humor.
