zfs zvol

Have you noticed that you are replicating the code of ZFS ZVols? All these features are available in ZVols and they work on Linux just fine, and they work *today*. (the talk page was inaccessible, sorry about this. Rudd-O)

Well, I can see a few differences here:
1. zfs have a license that incompatible with the GPL v2 which covers the Linux kernel
2. zvol can only be run on top of zfs, ploop can support any fs (potentially)
3. ploop can work over NFS
4. zvol snapshot feature is in fact implemented in zfs, ploop snapshot is implemented in ploop
