    > it seems like this bug might actually date back to the very beginning of ZFS with Sun

    Looks like you might be right about that. The oldest commit referenced in the fix [0] was from 2006[1], which was just months after Sun released ZFS.

    OpenZFS Documentation

    I'm a little sad to see this. I've been using ZFS on my PCs for years with minimal issue and significant benefits. [1] I've even contributed [2]. And I remain a huge fan.

    I don't believe that "everyone is just guessing". There are some pretty knowledgeable folk that work on this.

    [1] I've triggered some corruption in snapshots on an encrypted pool. No permanent problems resulted and no data was lost.

    [2] I provided a very minor documentation fix that was encouraged and promptly merged. https://github.com/openzfs/openzfs-docs/pull/472
