10.5: Unmount ZFS filesystems on USB drives

If you are lucky enough to be test driving ZFS on you Mac, you might find this useful. The latest ZFS build from Macosforge.com has a problem where ejecting a ZFS-formatted USB disk and unplugging it will crash Leopard.

However, I wrote an Automator action [286KB download] that will sudo and run a ZFS export on all mounted ZFS filesystems, so you can safely unplug your USB drive with ZFS on it.

[robg adds: I haven't tested this one.]
