upcoming 7.3-RELEASE: zfsloader doesn't support ZFS (doesn't link with libzfsboot)
I have tried to build RELENG_7_3_0_RELEASE and have noticed that zfsloader really doesn't supports ZFS due to incomplete Makefiles (LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT issue). Will be this issue fixed in 7.3-RELEASE? -- Alexander Zagrebin ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I have AMD64 with ~3,6G ram (rest is assigned to built-in hd3300) and 3x500GB in raidz1. As it's full zfs system, I'm booting from SD card.

7.3-RELEASE sysinstall netDev feature
The 7.3-RELEASE release notes indicate that sysinstall now supports a list of network interfaces in the netDev (install.cfg) parameter. After upgrading to 7.3-RELEASE (via csup) sysinstall does not seem to support that feature. Also, the man page doesn't contain any mention of the new feature. Is this the code committed by Rink Springer last October? This feature would sure be great for our many scripted installs (avoiding the hassles associated with plugging the cable into the wrong interface or having the interface type change unexpectedly due to hardware swaps). Thanks. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

There are no build errors.
IMHO, to support a ZFS, the loader have to be linked with the libzfsboot.
But (IMHO again) in the RELENG_7_3_0_RELEASE zfsloader builds without
this library.
To build zfsloader, the /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/zfsloader/Makefile contains
the following most important lines:
LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=yes
...
.include "${.CURDIR}/../loader/Makefile"
So the /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/loader/Makefile have to set required CFLAGS
and so on,
but it don't. It contains the folowing ZFS related lines:
# Set by zfsloader Makefile
#.if ${MK_ZFS} != "no"
#CFLAGS+= -DLOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT
#LIBZFS=${.OBJDIR}/../../zfs/libzfsboot.a
#.else
LIBZFS=
#.endif
As you can see, all ZFS related stuff is commented out.
So "LOADER_ZFS_SUPPORT=yes" (/usr/src/sys/boot/i386/zfsloader/Makefile)
doesn't
affects a build process.

What exactly are you specifying for netDev? ANY or a comma delimited list of interfaces?

Yeah, I suspect this wasn't MFC'ed and the release notes will need to be corrected. I'm going to double check this later tonight. FWIW, if this is something you are really that interested in having work, it will work just fine in 7.3-RELEASE, you'd just have to build it yourself. -- randi ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Re: Complete ports thaw
It probably bears repeating that the tree will be unstable for the next few days while a number of large commits hit the tree. These were held off during the release process to make life easier in case portmgr had to do tag-slips. Image processing libraries, xorg, kde, and gnome are scheduled to be updated, among others. mcl ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
