Unfortunately, I cannot run the ZFS Regression Test Suite on cross compiled binaries. Also, ZFS' build system requires a built kernel against which it does numerous autotools checks. It is more desirable to run them against a kernel known to actually work rather than something I built without testing it. > You might like to start from there in order to not to ruin > poor boxes. > I am asking people to test production-quality code, so the systems should be fine. Afterward, anyone on Gentoo that wants to remove the files can run `emerge -C sys-kernel/spl sys-fs/zfs-kmod sys-fs/zfs`. People on non-gentoo systems that want to remove the files can do that manually. I will provide them with the information needed to do that should they want to do it. So far, only people using Gentoo have volunteered to test.
