I'm one of the two ZFSBootMenu authors - it's great seeing people using it in the wild.

I'm not sure if this is something you're doing already, but don't forget that if you zfs send a snapshot to your storage pool, you can boot from that snapshot in a pinch.

We also (this past week) added a modifier to zbm.prefer - !!. If you specify zbm.prefer=zroot!! on the KCL, it'll only import the zroot pool. This might help your boot times by skipping importing your 56 drive storage pool.

We should have a new release out in the next few weeks, otherwise that feature is in the master branch if you build your own EFI executable.

Oh, interesting, cool! I appreciate the advice -- I am definitely not making use of all of the features.

And thanks for the software! I've been using it on all of my non-Apple devices for a while now. And my mom has been using it on their computer for a fair bit as well. It's been a total lifesaver on a couple of occasions and streamlined a lot.
