On Wednesday, July 8th I issued the initial call for testing for the update to HEAD to vendored openzfs. We'd like to give users roughly a month to test before merging. The current *tentative* merge date is August 10th. I hope it's not terribly controversial to point out that it really rests with users of non amd64 platforms to test to avoid any unpleasant surprises the next time they update their trees following the merge. ========================================================== NB: Do NOT zpool upgrade unless you are willing to live without the ability to ever rollback to the legacy zfs kmod. Checkout updated HEAD: % git clone https://github.com/mattmacy/networking.git -b projects/openzfs_vendor freebsd Checkout updated openzfs in to sys/contrib: % git clone https://github.com/zfsonfreebsd/ZoF.git -b projects/openzfs_vendor freebsd/sys/contrib/openzfs Build world and kernel with whatever your usual configuration is. Where possible the openzfs kmod is backward compatible with the cmd utils in HEAD so common operations work with existing tools and the new kmod. In the projects/openzfs_vendor branch of ZoF ozfs libraries are backward compatible with the zfs kmod in HEAD. Although ideally one would test this in a separate boot environment, the interoperability should allow one to rollback without too much difficulty. Thanks in advance for your time. -M
