As the subject said, the post was orientation. Discussion of MacZFS prototype – of its safety, stability and so on – is best in the MacZFS area.
"Best" depends on your purpose. If the purpose is to discuss the current and future potential of the experimental generation of MacZFS, the prototype, which is at pool version 5000, and has backwards compatibility with ZEVO (pool version 28)--to solve the problem all ZEVO users face or will face--namely, the fact that ZEVO is entirely broken on Mavericks until or unless someone, apparently not GreenBytes, is able to fix it--then the ZEVO forum is, in fact, best. Why? Because, as shocking and horrifying as it may be to you, not all ZEVO users are logged into the #mac-zfs IRC channel all the time, as both you and I are. And a pointer to the MacZFS website, mailing lists, and IRC channel is an insufficient substitute for a proper discussion here, where most ZEVO users will likely turn for such information, and where, one hopes--unless you succeed in derailing it--they will find a (semi-)permanent discussion of whether and to what extent MacZFS, amongst other alternatives to ZEVO, will solve their ZEVO-on-Mavericks problem. I, for one, do not want to be answering the same question over and over from ZEVO users in the #mac-zfs IRC channel, nor do I think it is fair for you to impose that work on the developers in the #mac-zfs channel, nor do I believe you are able to shoulder that burden entirely on your own. It would be much better for ZEVO users, as they each discover their shared problem at a different time, to find those answers here, and then, if upon reading those answers, they have further interest, to head over to the MacZFS website, mailing lists, and #mac-zfs IRC channel at their leisure. One must be entirely daft to expect any more than a small percentage of ZEVO users will ever read this thread and, as a consequence of your efforts to influence their behavior, install an IRC client and join us in the #mac-zfs IRC channel, and then get full answers to the same exact questions they all have. Until someone from GreenBytes objects, I hope the users of this forum ignore your unhelpful interventions in this matter and proceed with asking and answering whatever questions regarding ZEVO vs. MacZFS, and ZEVO vs. whatever, they have, as they each try to decide how they want to solve their ZEVO on Mavericks problem. Given that you have no ability (especially given the non-disclosure agreement to which you have subjected yourself) to solve that problem for them in a way that will effectively work for every individual and her circumstances, I suggest that you let people problem solve around the ZEVO-on-Mavericks issue here however they please.
