Please,
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git
currently the libs/blkid/src/probers/zfs.c file contains the original
Andreas's probing code. Note that you needn't to use hard-coded
offsets (see for example ufs.c).
I'll eventually port your patch to libvolume_id and e2fsprogs.
Thanks.
