That's unlikely to be open sourced as I understand it. If you want java, then there's a libzfs binding: https://zfs.dev.java.net/ Which could be used to build a more user-friendly front-end. This is one case of a more general point. What I would like to see is more language bindings to the basic APIs for observing, monitoring, and managing systems. At the moment there are too many areas - like ZFS - where we really have no option other than to fall back on calling the CLI commands, and that makes it difficult to generate decent interfaces. Bindings in perl, java, python would be good - python gives a good bridge to GNOME at least, and all could be used to develop web interfaces. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
