Photos cannot import photos to library on zfs #794

Here are the console logs around a recent attempt to import. I see the

Could you try opening Console.app and after entering an admin username and password (so you can view all system messages) try filtering with a search for "sandbox", and then try importing into Photos again? I'm curious if you'll get a bunch of sandbox related errors relating to your Photos library; if you do then what you're seeing may be the same issue I'm experiencing with Xcode.app and a few other programs, in which case giving Photos Full Disk Access (in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy) may resolve the issue for you. You shouldn't need to do it of course, but if it does solve the issue then this will at least confirm that the issue is probably the same. |

This bug isn't specific to zfs. I can easily reproduce it on my vanilla Mac running 12.4 using apfs. I've given full disk access to iPhoto, but the problem persists. I've studied the console error messages; they lack useful information. I suspect that this is one of several bugs in iPhotos. iPhotos has several bugs related to importing, sharing, and deleting images. |

I'm having a similar problem on with OpenZFS 2.1 and macOS 12.5 on my M1 Ultra; I did find a bunch of sandbox messages, and gave both Photos and |

For what it's worth, I'm now testing on macOS Monterey 12.6, and Photos imports into photoslibrary libraries on ZFS volumes now, but unfortunately, I discovered that exporting photos that have had edits applied in Photos fails with "Unknown Error" unless the photoslibrary is indeed on APFS or HFS+. Accordingly, I plan to (and recommend that we) use a ZVOL as raw block storage for an APFS or HFS+ filesystem, and store our photoslibrary libraries there. |

While similar, I believe this issue is different than #747 because no error message is given in this case, that issue was closed, and I have followed the suggested property settings.
I loaded my Photos library, which had been on a Big Sur Intel-based system, on a new M1 Pro macbook which shipped with Monterey installed. I am not able to import new photos into the Photos app when the library is on a zfs filesystem.
I tried creating a new Photos library both on and off of the ZFS fs -- the non-ZFS library works, the ZFS-hosted library will not import a photo
To reproduce
It never imports it but never fails with an error message either. However, if I try to import the photo a second time, Photos complains that "Another import session is in progress. Please try again when the current task is complete." It will try again if I quit Photos and restart it. But, it is still the same result. It will not import anything.
I tried
off,hfs, andapfsforcom.apple.mimic. Normally, I have usedhfson older machines.Following is some information about my installation
