How many "production" releases will FreeBSD have when the ZoL merge comes in ?

[kris at ixsystems.com]

This is internal only right now. FreeNAS 12 is still in the lab. We are
using the newer ZoL internally on other infrastructure though (On FreeBSD
HEAD as well). You'd need to run it through your normal qual process to
ensure its up to par on your end though.

And that's a no on being able to use it in a jail. You can't have the old
base-system ZFS kernel module loaded and then load the newer ZoL/OpenZFS
kernel module.

Are you currently using ZoL in production for customers ?

Pardon my ignorance, but is ZoL in use anywhere in FreeNAS/TrueNAS ?

I am pretty sure that we *cannot* run stock/standard ZFS in the base world
and give someone in a jail ZoL (with a module) correct ?

Thanks.
