Marcel, a question about zfs.
On r238540 I get:

# dmesg|grep -i zfs
ZFS filesystem version: 5
ZFS storage pool version: features support (5000)
#
# zfs upgrade
This system is currently running ZFS filesystem version 5.

All filesystems are formatted with the current version.
#

Is version 5 correct?
I was expecting version 28.
Or am I misunderstanding something?
