Feature flags support for ZFS ported from Illumos. Only minimal compatibility changes were made where required to accomidate Linux. For a detailed description of feature flags see original proposal on zfs-discuss. They are conceptually very similar to Linux's ext[234] style of feature flags. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2011-May/011568.html NOTE: This branch updates the default pool version for new pools from 28 to 5000. Version 28 pools may still be created for compatibility with Solaris by using the '-o version=28' option. $ zpool create -o version=28 ... Existing pools must be manually upgraded using 'zpool upgrade'. $ zpool upgrade ... Signed-off-by: Brian Behlendorf <behlendorf1@llnl.gov> Closes #778
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-...
