These programs and everything using libzpool rely on the embedded asserts to
verify the correctness of operations. Given that, the core dumps would be
useless without debug symbols.
There is one known issue: Some probes will display an error message along the
lines of: "Invalid address (0)"
I tested this with both a simple dtrace probe and dtruss on a few different
binaries on 32-bit. I only compiled 64-bit, did not run it, but I don't expect
problems without the modules loaded. Volunteers are welcome.

are linked with libraries they don't use:
- zinject doesn't use libavl
- ztest doesn't use libz
- zdb uses neither libavl nor libz
- zfs uses neither libbsdxml nor libm, nor libsbuf
- zpool uses neither libbsdxml nor libm, nor libsbuf
In addition, libzfs needs libm because it uses pow(), however it isn't
linked with -lm. This went unnoticed because all its users had -lm before.

Few new things available from now on:
- Data deduplication.
- Triple parity RAIDZ (RAIDZ3).
- zfs diff.
- zpool split.
- Snapshot holds.
- zpool import -F. Allows to rewind corrupted pool to earlier
transaction group.
- Possibility to import pool in read-only mode.
MFC after: 1 month
- Break the dependency on ../Makefile.inc for .PATH, and include
../Makefile.inc implicitly. This is required to ...
- Set WARNS?=6 in top-level Makefile.inc
- Remove now redundant WARNS settings, add WARNS?=0 where appropriate
- Remove redundant SHLIB_MAJOR overrides
- Use NO_MAN, not MK_MAN=no
- Remove redundant inclusion of bsd.own.mk
- Order Makefiles more according to style.Makefile(9)
- Reduce diff of cddl Makefiles against each other

This bring huge amount of changes, I'll enumerate only user-visible changes:
- Delegated Administration
Allows regular users to perform ZFS operations, like file system
creation, snapshot creation, etc.
- L2ARC
Level 2 cache for ZFS - allows to use additional disks for cache.
Huge performance improvements mostly for random read of mostly
static content.
- slog
Allow to use additional disks for ZFS Intent Log to speed up
operations like fsync(2).
- vfs.zfs.super_owner
Allows regular users to perform privileged operations on files stored
on ZFS file systems owned by him. Very careful with this one.
- chflags(2)
Not all the flags are supported. This still needs work.
- ZFSBoot
Support to boot off of ZFS pool. Not finished, AFAIK.

- Snapshot properties
- New failure modes
Before if write requested failed, system paniced. Now one
can select from one of three failure modes:
- panic - panic on write error
- wait - wait for disk to reappear
- continue - serve read requests if possible, block write requests
- Refquota, refreservation properties
Just quota and reservation properties, but don't count space consumed
by children file systems, clones and snapshots.
- Sparse volumes
ZVOLs that don't reserve space in the pool.
- External attributes
Compatible with extattr(2).
- NFSv4-ACLs
Not sure about the status, might not be complete yet.

This change modifies the affected Makefiles to reference the sources
in their new location.
implementing some of them using existing ones.
- Allow to compile ZFS on all archs and use atomic operations surrounded
by global mutex on archs we don't have or can't have all atomic
operations needed by ZFS.
There are some insignificant non-style changes as well.
Not fixed: makefiles use ${LIBTHR} that doesn't exist, thus
breaking "make checkdpadd" and not tracking dependencies
properly.

ZFS file system was ported from OpenSolaris operating system. The code in under
CDDL license.
I'd like to thank all SUN developers that created this great piece of software.
