    * The mailing list has heard of no reports of data loss of course, but there have been various anomalies with MacZFS on Mac OS 10.7.  We don't have enough conclusive reports to consider it to be perfectly stable, but we don't see why not.  Please contribute!
    * ZFS filesystems are mounted in weird places.  On some systems, you may need to issue a 'zfs set mountpoint' explicitly.

  * *zpool cannot complete a 'replace' operation.*

A raidz will sometimes not replace a vdev that was previously pulled during replacement, instead leaving 2 devices in 'replacing' status, and the pool in a degraded state. Example:

  * *Spotlight doesn't really work with ZFS.*

  * *Integrating ZFS more into the Finder.*

  * *Does this affect MacOS? <a href="http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6522017" target="_blank">The ARC allocates memory inside the kernel cage, preventing DR</a>*
