Hi Guilhem,

I may have found the answer to the question, why there is still no sysfs 
interface for the ZFS. Kernel object representing the `/sys/fs` directory is 
exported as GPL only, so it's not possible to use it in non GPL module, which 
unfortunately ZFS is (CDDL).

Since the ZFS is not strictly speaking alien in Debian (it's in contrib, 
though), it would be nice if cryptsetup-initramfs would support it. So, any 
other ideas how to integrate the ZFS support?

Cheers
Michal
