Re: ZFS MFC heads up

FYI, I just did an upgrade of my RELENG_7 machine with the new ZFS merged in, and it seems to have gone mostly trouble-free. I noticed one weirdness that could be confusion on my part - I'm no longer seeing snapshots when I do 'zfs list'. There's a UI change in the zfs command, and to see snapshots, you have to explicitly ask for them:

zfs list -t snapshot

scared me there for a moment..

Thanks for all the great work on ZFS in FreeBSD to everyone involved. I look forward to really beating on this now in RELENG_7.

Any pointers to running multiple jails with ZFS? I was looking for something like a union-mount capability for ZFS. I don't necessarily need a jail to run divergent /bin, /usr/local, etc. just the isolation. Making a clone doesn't exactly do the same thing..
