That first link says:
"The ZFS Posix Layer has not been implemented yet, therefore mounting
file systems is not yet possible;"
and:
"Currently in the ZFS for Linux port the only interface available from
user space is the zvol," the project's website reads, "The zvol allows
you to create a virtual block device dataset in a zfs storage pool.
While this may not immediately seem like a big deal it does open up
some interesting possibilities."
What exactly are you intending to do with a filesystem you can't mount?
