Rock solid - for me YMMV of course. The underpinnings are quite
straightforward so it should be easy to fix anything that does go astray.

I'm using it on a 9,1 box to admin a bunch of 9.1 jails. It doesn't
require ZFS but it can use it (along with a variety of other storage
options). It uses standard ZFS commands to do it's work with ZFS.
It's just a shell script program (albeit a 1500 line one), I might
have written a simpler, cruder one myself had it not existed and worked.
