> standalone and not dependent on the host OS.

??

The OS needs to implement zfs, like any other filesystem/host combination. Any filesystem can be "moved" to another host simply by attaching the drives, assuming you have hardware level compat and filesystem level compat.

OK the exception is when you have host-based hardware level encryption (ie, key in TPM or other security chip). In that case, zfs and otherwise, you can't just move the drives.
