Wait, does this mean that you could run the most recent version of OpenSolaris
at the time (i.e. 2009.06) and just update to the newest version of ZFS from the
dev repository?

You''ll have to excuse my Linux background, but filesystems typically
aren''t the kind of thing you can update without updating the kernel
itself.  Never thought of just updating the fs independent of the kernel... or
have I misunderstood something altogether?
