The whole idea of ZFSv28 being committed to HEAD was to be tested. I haven't seen any indication of a progress report provided for anything on HEAD that pertains to ZFSv28, have you? Furthermore, the FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report just came out on 04/27 for the months of January-March (almost a 2 month delay, sigh): 1737 04/27 10:58 Daniel Gerzo ( 41K) FreeBSD Status Report January-March, 2011 http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2011-01-2011-03.html Which states that ZFSv28 is "now available in CURRENT", which we've known for months: http://www.freebsd.org/news/status/report-2011-01-2011-03.html#ZFSv28-available-in-FreeBSD-9-CURRENT But again, no progress report, so nobody except those who follow HEAD/CURRENT know what the progress is. And that progress has not been relayed to any of the non-HEAD/CURRENT lists. I'm a total hard-ass about this stuff, and have been for years, because it all boils down to communication (or lack there-of). It seems very hasty to say "Yeah! MFC this!" when we (folks who only follow STABLE) have absolutely no idea if what's in CURRENT is actually broken in some way or if there are outstanding problems -- and if there are, what those are so users can be aware of them in advance. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
