Ok, I'm not exactly relieved the bug hits also 9.0, but it's good news I won't have to plan a remote upgrade of FreeBSD and ZFS over ssh. I master the process, having done FreeBSD upgrades over ssh since 5.x (either sources and binary way), but the less I do it, the better I feel.

mine have been created under 8.1 and 8.2 respectively, as far as I remember (btw, is there any way to list the change history of a system, other than keeping manual trace of every updates/upgrades?).
