At work we're using the ZFS appliances on a big scale. As it's
documented in the manual, you are not suppossed to work on the OS shell,
it's view only. If you do not want to loose your support, you better
don't mess around on the shell.

Keep also in mind, that your changes might not survive an OS upgrade and
might make the system unstable.
