freebsd stable - Mar 2009 - Using ZFS swap hangs my machine :(.

Is anyone successfully using ZFS swap under 7.1? 

 

I've created a VZOL for my swap partition, and can read and write to it
ok using 'dd', but whenever the kernel uses it the machine hangs solid.
:/.

 

Is this a known problem, or do I have some local weirdness going on?

 

Joe

It is well known swapping on ZFS doesn't work. See
