The handbook does not cover how to add zfs support.
How is it done?
Let me reword. If zfs is in the base system why does it not show up
when I look for it this way?
if config -x $( sysctl -n kern.bootfile ) | grep -q
'^[[:space:]]*options[[:space:]]\{1,\}ZFS\>'; then
echo "yes zfs is in the kernel"
fi
Without the ability to check this, I strongly assume that
if you enable ZFS as described in the Handbook, the module
/boot/kernel/zfs.ko (part of the default system) will be
loaded. That's why it won't show up in a sysctl query
aimed at the _kernel_ itself -- because it isn't in the
kernel.
Also, "sysctl -n kern.bootfile" will return the actual
kernel file, /boot/kernel/kernel, which is a binary. If
the exact config list (from the kernel _configuration_
file) is not plain-text part of that file, grep will not
find the text you're grepping for.
So the next question is there any sh script code I can use to
check if zfs has been enabled by the rc.conf zfs_enable statement.
I need to determine if zfs is enabled on the host.
Thanks
