ZFS depends on EFI_PARTITION, ZLIB_DEFLATE and ZLIB_INFLATE, but when ZFS is integrated with the kernel source tree, menuconfig does not enforce these dependencies. This can cause build failures in the case of ZLIB_DEFLATE and ZLIB_INFLATE where symbols are not found. This can also cause runtime failures in the case of EFI_PARTITION, where the kernel will not understand GPT partitions when creating pools from raw disks. We solve this by making menuconfig aware of these dependencies. Signed-off-by: Richard Yao <ryao@cs.stonybrook.edu> Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #854
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-...
