When checking for the SPL Module.symvers file, a timeout can now be passed in which will pause the configure step while it waits for this file to be generated. By default, the configure behavior is unchanged as a timeout of 0 is used. If a positive number of seconds is passed, configure will wait that number of seconds for the Module.symvers file before moving on. The main motivation for this change was to support parallel execution of './configure && make' for the SPL and ZFS packages in preparation of supporting DKMS based packages.

Native ZFS for Linux! ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris. It has been successfully ported to FreeBSD and now there is a functional Linux ZFS kernel port too. The port currently includes a fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, and ZVOL with a ZFS Posix Layer (ZPL) on the way!
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using ZFS can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
