UEFI-enabled boot1.efi and loader.efi have + been modified to support loading and booting from a ZFS + filesystem, as of the previous report. The ZFS-enabled + loader.efi can be treated as a chainloader when + using ZFS-enabled GRUB.

+ +

During this quarter, several successful tests have been + reported on simple ZFS setups, using both boot1.efi with + loader.efi as well as GRUB and loader.efi.

+ +

Successful tests have been reported for UFS with the + patched boot1.efi and loader.efi as well. +

+ + + + +

Test reports are needed for more complex ZFS setups, + such as with log/l2arc vdevs, mirroring, striping, and raidz.

+ + + +

Pending successful reports, the patch needs to be + reviewed and committed.
