Hi, I followed fearedbliss's guide a couple years back. Here are my 2 cents.

This is what your udev rule should look like. https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/blob/master/udev/rules.d/60-zvol.rules.in Check it exists. # cat /lib/udev/rules.d/60-zvol.rules Reload udev rules. # rc-service udev reload I think you also have to re-trigger the rules, which is beyond the scope of my knowledge. # man udevadm If it exists on `zfs list`, your swap partition is in there somewhere. This command will show you any swap partitions in use. # swapon --show Good luck! -- Roger Welsh fpr: 2FCB 9E31 EA77 CDEC A3AE 5DD7 D54C C777 553A 180D
Re: [gentoo-user] Persistence of ZFS /dev/zvol/rpool/swap
I followed the same guide and don't have this issue.

Is there some new rule suggesting that bugzilla shouldn't be used? You might have just forgotten to mention it, that's okay -- I'm just asking because bugzilla bugs 601032, 660966 and 663432 have made me wonder if there is something going on, and I want to be sure I didn't miss anything. Especially 601032, which is about to turn 1 year old. > In the rare chance that the package is just being removed because it's > old, making gentoo-dev aware that you use it should be enough. > Otherwise bump the version. -- Nuno Silva
[gentoo-user] Persistence of ZFS /dev/zvol/rpool/swap
Hi folks, I've followed fearedbliss' guide for installing Gentoo on ZFS [1] and am trying to understand why /dev/zol/rpool/swap does not show up on reboot even though I saw it initially when creating the zvol and can still see it with zfs list: xm2 ~ # zfs list NAMEUSED AVAIL REFER MOUNTPOINT rpool 29.1G 176G96K none rpool/HOME 4.98G 176G 4.98G /home rpool/ROOT 7.10G 176G96K none rpool/ROOT/gentoo 7.10G 176G 7.10G / rpool/swap 17.0G 193G 354M - xm2 ~ # ls /dev/zvol ls: cannot access '/dev/zvol': No such file or directory xm2 ~ # I'm actually surprised my system boots at all, because /etc/fstab looks for that partition to be the swap: xm2 ~ # grep ^/dev /etc/fstab /dev/zvol/rpool/swapnoneswapsw,discard0 0 xm2 ~ # My best guesses at the problem are either that it's udev related or that the various ZFS services need to be better configured to expose the zvol. I read the "Admin Documentation" links on the zfsonlinux.org website looking for mentions on "zvol" and the only relevant section seems to be the `zpool import` should apply `zfs share -a` to zvols [2]. Maybe I need to run `zfs share`? But that doesn't seem to help: xm2 ~ # zfs share rpool/swap cannot open 'rpool/swap': operation not applicable to datasets of this type xm2 ~ # zfs share -a xm2 ~ # ls /dev/zvol ls: cannot access '/dev/zvol': No such file or directory xm2 ~ # I haven't posted on this list in many years, so go easy on me :) Pariksheet [1] https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Fearedbliss/Installing_Gentoo_Linux_On_ZFS#Create_your_swap_zvol [2] http://open-zfs.org/wiki/System_Administration#Boot_process

Fix that issue and submit a pull requests via GitHub or via email to gentoo-dev. If using gentoo-dev there is the possibility that it will never be allowed through the filter, so perhaps ask about it on IRC as well. In the rare chance that the package is just being removed because it's old, making gentoo-dev aware that you use it should be enough. Otherwise bump the version. Cheers, R0b0t1
[gentoo-user] net-nntp/inn - This package is masked and could be removed soon!
Hi, I happily use net-nntp/inn on my server and was surprised to find that it is now masked and apparently up for removal. It looks like maintenance has dropped off on the package. I've never maintained a portage overlay or otherwise contributed to Gentoo (save for mailing lists). As such I don't know what I can do to help. I did skim the Proxy Maintainers page [1] and don't know that I'm ready to tackle that much responsibility. Is there something else that I can do to help avoid the removal of the net-nntp/inn package? Possibly at least keep it around as a masked package? Does anyone have any recommendations before blindly diving head first into something I'll regret by assuming responsibility that I'm not sure I'm ready for? Thanks for any pointers in advance.

I hope that helps somebody one day. -- Regards, Peter.
