To be short, a ZFS boot environment is a filesystem that typically has loader, kernel and can be mounted as a root filesystem. By having multiple filesystems of this kind a user can easily select which one to boot to. This allows for things like having known good configurations, easily recovering from failed upgrades, experimenting with new code, etc. One of the features of boot environments is support for subordinate filesystems. For example: NAME MOUNTPOINT CANMOUNT pond/ROOT/20130331 /pond/ROOT/20130331 noauto pond/ROOT/20130331/usr /usr off pond/ROOT/20130331/usr/local /usr/local noauto pond/ROOT/20130331/usr/local/etc /usr/local/etc noauto pond/ROOT/kms /pond/ROOT/kms noauto pond/ROOT/kms/usr /usr off pond/ROOT/kms/usr/local /usr/local noauto pond/ROOT/kms/usr/local/etc /usr/local/etc noauto 20130331 and kms are two boot environments here. .../usr, .../usr/local, .../usr/local/etc are their subordinate datasets / filesystems. The idea is that one can have filesystems that are tied to a boot environment. These filesystems hold files that must be in the boot environment but they are better to be stored in a different filesystem than the main one. There can be different reasons for this like a need for different ZFS properties or convenience of separate management (snapshots, cloning, etc). Because these filesystems should not be automatically mounted during boot they are configured with canmount=noauto. The root filesystem is mounted automatically by the kernel. But the subordinate filesystems are not mounted by rc.d/zfs -> zfs mount -a because of the canmount property. So they need to be mounted explicitly. Below is a patch that I have for this case. I would like to ask both fs@ and rc@ communities to review the patch for correctness, soundness and style. I will appreciate any suggestions and comments. If you are already using boot environments and think that you may need to use subordinate datasets, then testing is most welcome too. commit df1df94f75a13f611a8234b01bfb9d6b43172c45 Author: Andriy Gapon Date: Sun Jul 7 21:01:27 2013 +0300 rc.d/zfsbe: a new script designed for boot environment support currently it ensures that subordinate datasets are mounted at the right points. diff --git a/etc/rc.d/zfs b/etc/rc.d/zfs index 598723a..3c40043 100755 --- a/etc/rc.d/zfs +++ b/etc/rc.d/zfs @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ # # PROVIDE: zfs -# REQUIRE: mountcritlocal +# REQUIRE: zfsbe . /etc/rc.subr diff --git a/etc/rc.d/zfsbe b/etc/rc.d/zfsbe new file mode 100755 index 0000000..9e4c50e --- /dev/null +++ b/etc/rc.d/zfsbe @@ -0,0 +1,70 @@ +#!/bin/sh +# +# $FreeBSD$ +# + +# PROVIDE: zfsbe +# REQUIRE: mountcritlocal + +# Handle boot environment subordinate filesystems +# that may have canmount property set to noauto. +# For these filesystems mountpoint relative to / +# must be the same as their dataset name relative +# to BE root dataset. + +. /etc/rc.subr + +name="zfsbe" +rcvar="zfs_enable" +start_cmd="be_start" +stop_cmd="be_stop" +required_modules="zfs" + +mount_subordinate() +{ + local _be + + _be=$1 + zfs list -rH -o mountpoint,name,canmount -s mountpoint -t filesystem $_be | \ + while read _mp _name _canmount ; do + [ "$_canmount" = "off" ] && continue + case "$_mp" in + "") + ;; + "legacy") + ;; + "/") + ;; + "/$_be") + ;; + "/$_be/"*) + mount -t zfs $_name ${_mp#/$_be} + ;; + *) + zfs mount $_name + ;; + esac + done +} + +be_start() +{ + if [ `$SYSCTL_N security.jail.jailed` -eq 1 ]; then + : + else + mount -p | while read _dev _mp _type _rest; do + [ $_mp = "/" ] || continue + if [ $_type = "zfs" ] ; then + mount_subordinate $_dev + fi + break + done + fi +} + +be_stop() +{ +} + +load_rc_config $name +run_rc_command "$1" -- Andriy Gapon
