10 Yes, it's enough to simply emerge the packages, and "modprobe zfs" (and
11 later add "zfs" to /etc/conf.d/modules). Works fine here.

13 (Not sure what FUSE has to do with it, though. FUSE filesystems don't
14 install any kernel modules.)

16 Just ignore the section "Installing into the kernel directory (for
17 static installs)" on that page, unless you have a very special install
18 (but then, you probably wouldn't have to ask here).
