The problem with ZFS support in the installer is well known. Help is much welcome in improving this. > I don't think that these changes would be accepted from Debian. Every work > about a patch is useless. Of course it would. Debian needs it for BtrFS too. They're essentially the same changes. It seems that you're willing to spend some time improving D-I to support M:1:N filesystem models, why don't you bring this up in debian-boot? If you offer your help, I'm sure it can be sorted out earlier. We're not unwilling, just lack manpower. > With jails also I'm > missing VIMAGE that gives a virtualized networkstack. What is exactly missing about VIMAGE? vimage(8) command? Kernel support?

Actually, squeeze will be improved as well during its life cycle, to some extent. Here are some of the proposed fixes: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=633460 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=633561 > But services inside a > Debian kFreeBSD jail needs a mounted linprocfs.

To archieve this we need more feedback from people like you, who see things from a production perspective and know better which missing features are important, which bugs are showstoppers, etc. Please don't stop telling us. -- Robert Millan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
