The consensus here should be that options ZFS is totally valid. > >> I can live with loading zfs.ko and opensolaris.ko at boot time, but I > >> think this is a step backwards. > > > >Please no, I can think of no sound reason that you should be > >forced to use modules. > I thought that ZFS was required to be a module because of the licensing > terms (they didn't want any CDDL code in the core kernel)? I am not asking that we distribute a statically linked kernel, that does create an issue for a GPL kernel, but not for a BSD kernel, I am asking that we continue to be able to statically link ZFS into the kernel as we have been able to for some time. For a very short period of time due to mmacy commit this was broken, he quickly fixed it, so this is a moot issue again. -- Rod Grimes rgri...@freebsd.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
