I am not asking that we distribute a statically linked kernel, that does create an issue for a GPL kernel, but not for a BSD kernel, I am asking that we continue to be able to statically link ZFS into the kernel as we have been able to for some time. For a very short period of time due to mmacy commit this was broken, he quickly fixed it, so this is a moot issue again. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes_at_freebsd.orgReceived on Tue Aug 14 2018 - 00:11:54 UTC
