Same problem with MacZFS-74.1.0 and OSX 10.5.8. I share my /Users on ZFS with Ubuntu 11.10 with native zfs boot on Linux. If I create a zvol swap partition on the Linux side then OSX will hang before reaching the login window.

Zvol seems to be an important feature to have working. Could you not for example format a zvol HFS+ and boot natively OSX?

Most of the code for zvols in maczfs appears to be commented out with only stubs left. Maybe someone with knowledge of the history of the code could explain the situation. Perhaps the rest of it should also be disabled.

The ZVOL format was never ported to Mac ZFS.
