Wow! Thanks for your reply. I've experienced some minor issues with severe broken disks where the SPL layer discards the disk but the zpool is still online. It's not a major issue and I've yet to encounter the issue again I've already filed a related bug: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/2508 but I'm not an expert. If I can gather more data I'll try to submit as much data and hints I can find.

As for cgroups blkio - there is already a bug report: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/1952

Sorry. It was not my intention to suggest that ZFS does not compile on new kernel versions. I've never had problems with that. I just wanted to point out that it's not in the mainline kernel and for some people that might be important.

Thanks for your great work on ZoL! It made my life a lot easier :)

I am also a Linux kernel contributor, so running the latest kernels is important for me. This prompted me to switch from Nvidia graphics to Intel graphics a couple of months ago. ZoL's future kernel version support should reflect this.

As for the issues you linked, the project will likely not be able to tackle them until next year, but being in the tracker means that they will receive attention.
