Completely disable the zfs binary from attempting to directly update /etc/mtab. The Linux port relies entirely on the mount.zfs helper to safely update /etc/mtab. If we left the /etc/mtab updates to the zfs binary then they could race with concurrent non-zfs mounts. Routing everything through the system mount command ensures the /etc/mtab updates are locked properly. Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Issue #329
Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
