VirtualBox quick test with one OmniOS, one FreeBSD 12 and one NetBSD
9.99.47 system.

A pool was created some times ago under the first one, some data
copied, exported; imported on the FreeBSD system, some data read and
copied to, exported, imported on the NetBSD system, again some data in
and out, the same route was then repeated back to the original system.

Everything worked as expected.

Well, ZFS is great, no doubt about that, sorry, Linus T.
