At first glance, it would suggest that it should be feasible to add ZFS to
uboot. But since I only have 'usage-level knowledge' of both boot systems,
I am unaware of any show-stoppers.
Oh please study this and submit a patch, I believe at least Pavel (CCed) would
be glad to see it in :-)
Well the porting might be quite a long run indeed, but basic booting from this
should not be that hard. Besides the code would be fairy separate, so it should
be OK.
I took the existing CuBox u-boot, and compiled. Then found the EXT4 patches
done by Siemens, and practised merging that in, compiling, and flashing the
cubox. I can now boot EXT4. So that is encouraging.
Looking at GRUB zfs, it defines similar functions, namely open(), mount(),
read(), close() and list(). So perhaps I can get something done. Is there
quicker ways to test uboot than to flash the hardware every time?
What is the general patch acceptance around, I see ext4 wasn't accepted,
what are the chances my patches would be?
