Yeah, or just stay on 0.8.4. 0.8.5 was only released upstream this week. With my root and multiple TB of data on zfs I really don't want to face a restore situation. I do have backups but it would take days to restore everything. As long as you never ran zpool upgrade you should be able to downgrade the version you're running. That said, anytime I change kernels I keep some old ones lying around just in case, including their modules. -- Rich
