I would like to use a ZFS dataset as a raw device for a KVM and would need to have the /dev/zvol/ block devices. But they are not showing up. There should also be something like /sys/block/zdev but this is also not there. Is there some setting to make ZFS datasets available as block devices in NixOS?

Ah, you are completely right. I was creating datasets using zfs create -o quota=50G data/vm/debian but it should be a ZFS volume, like zfs create -V 50G data/vm/debian and then it also shows up as /dev/zvol/data/vm/debian. Stupid mistake from my side. Thanks for the hint
