On Wednesday, July 8th I issued the initial call for testing for the update to HEAD to vendored openzfs. We'd like to give users roughly a month to test before merging. The tentative merge date is August 17th. Again, I hope it's not terribly controversial to point out that it really rests with users of non amd64 platforms to test to avoid any unpleasant surprises the next time they update their trees following the merge. amd64, i386, and aarch64 memdisk images can be found at: https://people.freebsd.org/~freqlabs/freebsd-openzfs/latest/ If you're using a platform not listed above and would be inclined to test if you had an image to work with, let us know. Alternatively, you can still build following the instructions below. The review for merging in to base can be found at: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D25872 ========================================================== NB: Do NOT zpool upgrade unless you are willing to live without the ability to ever rollback to the legacy zfs kmod. Checkout updated HEAD: % git clone https://github.com/mattmacy/networking.git -b projects/openzfs_vendor freebsd Checkout updated openzfs in to sys/contrib: % git clone https://github.com/zfsonfreebsd/ZoF.git -b projects/openzfs_vendor freebsd/sys/contrib/openzfs Build world and kernel with whatever your usual configuration is. Where possible the openzfs kmod is backward compatible with the cmd utils in HEAD so common operations work with existing tools and the new kmod. In the projects/openzfs_vendor branch of ZoF ozfs libraries are backward compatible with the zfs kmod in HEAD. Although ideally one would test this in a separate boot environment, the interoperability should allow one to rollback without too much difficulty. NB: The patch updates /etc/rc.d/zfs - so if you skip mergemaster pools other than the root pool will not be imported at boot. Thanks in advance for your time. -MReceived on Mon Aug 03 2020 - 22:24:58 UTC
