"FreeBSD is migrating to ZoL" This is correct - and good news - but there should be a reality check involved with regard to timelines ... ZoL code is most likely not going to be part of any 12-RELEASE distributions, which means that: IF you only run -RELEASE in production (a good policy) AND if you do not put a x.0 release into production (historically, a good policy) then you are 2-3 years away from running this ZoL code: http://freebsd.1045724.x6.nabble.com/How-many-quot-production-quot-releases-will-FreeBSD-have-when-the-ZoL-merge-comes-in-td6338360.html#a6338480 http://freebsd.1045724.x6.nabble.com/How-many-quot-productio... As it stands now, our customers want encryption and raw send which we provide to them using ZoL, on 12, in ports form, in a VM. This is how people zfs-send encrypted snapshots to rsync.net. Our base ZFS platform, however, will most likely not run a ZFS version that doesn't come with a -RELEASE version of FreeBSD with a x.0 version number. Not a big deal when everyone is using borg and restic anyway, but I digress...
