gptzfsboot and RELENG_7
Hello list Any ideas if gptzfsboot is going to be MFC'ed into RELENG_7 anytime soon? I am going to be building a NAS soon and I would like to have a full ZFS system without having to resort to running 8-CURRENT :) Sincerely, - Dan Naumov ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: gptzfsboot and RELENG_7
Several posts made to this list AFTER the zfs v13 MFC to RELENG_7 indicated that even after that MFC, you still needed gptzfsboot from 8-CURRENT to be able to boot from a full ZFS system. Is this not the case? I have a 7.2-STABLE built on May 30 and I do not have gptzfsboot in my /boot, only gptboot. I didn't make any changes to the stock Makefiles and used GENERIC kernel config. Do I need to adjust some options for gptzfsboot to get built? - Dan Naumov 5/25/09 - last month ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: /boot/loader and RELENG_7 (WAS: gptzfsboot and RELENG_7)
Ah, so there is still a (small) piece of 8-CURRENT needed to have a working 7-STABLE zfs boot configuration? I am getting really confused now, if I add LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=yes to my /etc/make.conf, the RELENG_7 system will be built with zfs boot support, but I still need the actual /boot/loader from 8-CURRENT? Is that getting MFC'ed into into RELENG_7 anytime soon? Where are all make.conf options documented by the way? Neither /usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf nor man make.conf make any reference to the LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT option. - Dan Naumov On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 7:49 PM, Alberto Villavilla.albe...@gmail.com wrote: On Monday 08 June 2009 17:44:40 Dan Naumov wrote: Several posts made to this list AFTER the zfs v13 MFC to RELENG_7 indicated that even after that MFC, you still needed gptzfsboot from 8-CURRENT to be able to boot from a full ZFS system.

I think only the change from 8 to 64 is all thats needed but I applied the whole patch when I tested it. Also, yes LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT causes gptzfsboot to be compiled as well as add ZFS support to loader (and other stuff). It may not have been documented (I didn't check). ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
