I send the below mail to Brian Behlendorf, but everyone is welcome to help me =) I will write a read-only ZFS driver, and I'm looking for a specification that focus on the on-disk structure of a ZFS partition.
If anyone is aware of a *read-link* ZFS driver whose source code is open, then it would be awesome. If there is also a tool that dumps the ZFS structure (e.g. super block) and inodes, then it would be amazing =) By the way, I am using Linux, and I'm still looking for a good environment. Setting up a good environment isn't an easy task, but ZFS on Linux seems to be the right place to get started with. Thanks in advance. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Raphael S Carvalho <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Oct 21, 2013 at 4:39 AM Subject: ZFS driver - Need your help ;) - Specification To: [email protected] Hi, I am about to write a read-only driver for ZFS, and I found your project very useful and needed to my environment. As you ported ZFS to run natively on Linux, I think you could help me with a good specification about the ZFS on-disk structure. Which one did you use while working on it? Many of them have info that aren't too useful for those writing drivers as an example. I would appreciate any feedback on the matter. Regards, Raphael S. Carvalho. -- Raphael S.
