Okay this is really neat. ZFS pool data is being stored on S3.
The NBD kernel module (man nbd-client) connects to a ZeroFS instance and creates local block devices (/dev/ndb0) over the network.
The local block devices then get turned into a #zfs pool.

If one of the #freebsd ports committers could look into the small #zerofs update patch at https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=291242 that would be very much appreciated.
Then the upgrade could be included in the next quarterly package builds... :)
