--- Begin Message ---Package: partman-zfs Version: 42 Severity: grave Tags: d-i Justification: renders package unusable for ZFS-based install (which is probably the reason someone is trying Debian/kFreeBSD .. to use ZFS) Dear Maintainer, Tried the 2015-01-12 nightly mini.iso Jessie image. In the partition setup via "expert" install, selected all disks to use with ZFS -- partitioned 3 drives into three partitions (see below for scheme) -- then proceeded to create two ZFS pools from these, a "b" pool from partition 1 as a mirror across three drives, then a "z" pool from partition 2 as raidz across three drives. It happily did all this, installed the base system, etc... -- root@bear:~# parted /dev/da0 GNU Parted 3.2 Using /dev/da0 Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) print Model: VMware Virtual disk (scsi) Disk /dev/da0: 42.9GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags: Number Start End Size File system Name Flags 3 17.4kB 1049kB 1031kB bios_grub 1 1049kB 512MB 511MB 2 512MB 42.9GB 42.4GB zfs (parted) -- But installing Grub failed with "unknown filesystem". In troubleshooting the issue, it seems grub2 (version currently is 2.02~beta2-19) does not recognize the "feature@lz4_compress" option (and had been previously reported) of the ZFS pools that kFreeBSD kernel 10.1 creates. And there's no way to disable it once the pool is created. What I ended up doing is recreating everything again, this time interrupting and adding the "-d" flag to the pool creation command (done manually) to leave all the feature@* options disabled for building the system. This worked. Installation of Grub as the boot loader was successful and the system booted using /boot (and /lib/modules) as volumes on the "b" pool, which is a simple ZFS mirror. Please consider adding the "-d" flag in partman-zfs for Jessie, i.e., # zpool create -d "pool" <dev-spec> And then perhaps turning on feature@ flags that are known to work with grub for booting. Here's what my pools look like right now and all is well: -- root@bear:~# zpool status pool: b state: ONLINE status: Some supported features are not enabled on the pool. The pool can still be used, but some features are unavailable. action: Enable all features using 'zpool upgrade'.
