Thought it would be interesting to try a version without the UAC requirement. Ie, the thing that forces you to "run as Administrator". So now you can run as a normal user, and some of the commands that do require Admin will pop up the Elevate dialog. It will pipe between the two etc, Extra work was needed for ask for passwords, and so on.

Next step might be able to get zfs allow to work, but unsure if that is all that interesting for Windows.

Does it work? Is it desirable?

Which let's us do things like:

    user$ ./zfs snapshot BOOM/data@test2
    cannot create snapshots : permission denied

    root$ ./zfs.exe allow WDKRemoteUser snapshot BOOM/data

    user$ ./zfs snapshot BOOM/data@test2
    user$ ./zfs list -t all
    BOOM/data@test2     0B      -   808M  -

Which is probably pretty useless on Windows, not particularly common to have multi-user setup, but still amusing challenge to figure out.

Hmm so it was listed as a draft again? Most peculiar... hopefully that url will work?

[echizenryoma]

well, it works.

irritating

when you call https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs/releases
you get only releases up to 2.4.1 rc7

You must click on https://github.com/openzfsonwindows/openzfs/releases/tag/zfswin-2.4.1rc9
to get newest ones

Or you click on "Show all 18 assets" at the end of the list. It unfolds the rest of the versions.
