Fair point on the {pool}:{dataset} thing. I just don't like that the same {pool} name refers to both a pool of vdevs and the top-level dataset on that pool. It makes it that little bit harder to grok the distinction. Perhaps there's a better way to emphasize that difference.

The distinction is easy. If you're using the 'zpool' binary, you're operating on the pool. If you use the 'zfs' binary, you're operating on the dataset.
