Hi raid5atemyhomework, I can't help you with ZFS, but I think I've found some small issues with the configuration file: * the shepherd services defined in `configuration.scm` seem one-shot services to me, so maybe add '(one-shot? #t)'. * in the 'stop' of zfs-automount, the code changes the working directory. As it isn't restored afterwards, this doesn't seem kosher to me. Or maybe this isn't an issue at all. Maxime.
