I think its a zfs issue because I use the same dracut in both cases. I will also ask on the zfs list and see what they say. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it.

I'm not sure if this is a dracut issue or a zfs issue, but on my zfs 0.7.13 system I have: root=ZFS=fast/root ...where fast/root is the pool/dataset I'm using. You might try adding the ZFS= to your root string. I wasn't aware it would even work otherwise. I have yet to try 0.8 - I'm not in a huge rush though I'm sure the TRIM support will help. I'm content to let everybody else run into issues like this for me... :) -- Rich

OK, so I successfully did build 0.8.1, but it does not like my root file system parameter, dracut chokes and puts me in an emergency shell and I have to mount it manually. I tried root=rpool and root=rpool/root which dracut completely said unable to continue and if I omit the root= altogether like I have done in previous versions, it says it can't mount the root file system, and throws me into the emergency shell where I can mount it manually. I do have rpool/root designated as rootfs. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com

Hmmm, I unmerged all three packages and emerge was still unhappy, it still thought the 7.13 spl was a blocker and would not emerge anything. I guess there is no great hurry about doing this, but portage is definitely not behaving properly. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it?

Portage should take care of it for you.

[gentoo-user] cannot upgrade to zfs 0.8.x
Hi. I have discovered that I cannot upgrade to zfs 0.8.x. The problem seems to be that there is no sys-kernel/spl-0.8.x at all. I have seen on the zfs list that people are upgrading to 0.8, so what is happening here -- is this somehow another unmaintained package or someting? Thanks in advance for any ideas. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici wb2una cov...@ccs.covici.com
