Hi,

why is that? We have used it for some time now on a fairly heavily- 
loaded Ultra 2 machine, utilizing a fairly large part of the ZFS  
featureset (mirroring, striping, quotas and limits, mountpoints left  
right and centre, etc.), and found it to be completely stable. We have  
either not (yet) encountered any sparc64-specific edge cases, or there  
are none (always the hopeless optimist)...

Given that we reported this back in the RC1 days, I'm surprised it's  
not in.. ;) Then again, we opened no PR. Should we?
