Good start in the day.
The workaholics from zfsonlinux just released version v0.6.5.8.. This also includes support for kernel 4.7.x.
So, it will only take a small amount of time until archzfs will ship a new release.
The Linux team is happy to announce a new release of OpenZFS on Linux. The 0.6 4 release adds support for 6 new feature flags, multiple new properties, asynchronous IO, support for Linux kernels up to 4.0 and more.
