ZFS drives shown as removable volumes in Finder

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In Leopard, a ZFS pool is shown as a removable volume, and files are shown as 
symlinks.

This is a Finder bug in 10.5, which is apparently fixed in 10.6.

I still see the symlinks in finder.  I'm not sure what advice to offer it.

I don't think there's anything we can do - it's a MacOSX thing. It's really 
here to record it as a known issue. 
You never know, someone might be able to suggest some advice. After all, the 
MacFUSE stuff shows icons for 
its mounted volumes - perhaps we can take thoughts from that?

This applies to Snow Leopard as well.

I think we need something like:

vfs_setflags(mp, (u_int64_t)((unsigned int)MNT_LOCAL));

when we know it's non-removable. Diskutil info /dev/disk0 gives back 
'Ejectable: no' so we could assume that any folder on /dev/disk0s* would also 
be unejectable. I wonder whether we want to do this for all folders though. We 
can probably do this in zfs_vfs_mount in usr/src/uts/common/fs/zfs/zfs_vfsops.c 
- see the MNT_DONTBROWSE option (which I suspect means that filesystems aren't 
shown in the finder)
