Hi everyone, This is the tenth report of ZFS on Linux Integration GSoC project. As said last week I was still at the summer training, but progress is better.
To verify what's the problem that I cannot get debootstrap working on my local qemu/kvm virtual machine, I've found an VMware ESXi server and created a virtual machine to test the image. The result is debootstrap is running and I can go forward until grub2 installation failed, which is the same result as Petter get. Networking seems to have problem since early time of the installation progress starts because I found that ntp service isn't working, either. But strange thing is when I switched to another console and in busybox shell downloading from a public mirror just work. I stopped discovering about networking for the moment and continued to deal with grub2. Currently installation of grub2 to harddisk fail because it cannot find a suitable filesystem for /boot when /boot is created as a ZFS filesystem. This is because grub2 in the archive lacks zpool v5000 and feature flag support (which is default behaviour of ZFS on Linux now), and those patches were added upstream in mid-July, the discussion with upstream was mentioned in previous reports. I have tried to do some trivial change to make it merge with current sid package, but testing isn't done at the moment. The two patches are attached for now, I intend to submit them when I confirmed they are working as expected. Next thing is the packaging of zfs-auto-snapshot, since upstream has done most of the work already, it's fair easy to get to work. A new git repository is created [1]. It cannot be uploaded before zfs-linux package passes NEW queue. The last thing is the just-released zfs/spl 0.6.2, I've updated the packages using upstream release and uploaded them. SPL is in archive, and ZFS is getting another version in NEW. I'll make another image next week and update all related packages to latest version, and to see if root installation can success.
