Tim,
Thanks for adding zfs-team.

I didn't recall system attributes being part of the original
ZFS case. Do you have a case pointer for dataset-level system
properties? Or are you saying that there are no dataset level
system properties? I'm pretty sure the project team believes
there are.

I'll let the project reply to this part.
I'd appreciate a proper case reference for dataset system properties.
Thanks,
Gary..
