I wonder why not. What version is it on?
-
rmustacc
The illumos code base hasn't been rebased onto OpenZFS the way the FBSD folks did.
-
derzahl
if nothing else I should be able to compile it myself right? zstd should be pretty platform agnostic
-
derzahl
oh
-
derzahl
its in linux as well
-
nbjoerg
. o O(embrance and extend)
-
derzahl
but theres one more incompatability with my pools, org.delphix.livelist - not sure what it is
-
rmustacc
Yes, because OpenZFS as a project decided to move to doing the work on top of what was ZoL.
-
derzahl
so illuminos is frozen on the same zfs code from when Sun released it under the CDDL?
-
rmustacc
No.
-
derzahl
but "openzfs" isnt an option, wont compile?
-
rmustacc
For a while work was done directly in illumos and then went into say ZoL and others. The model changed to be based on ZoL and its structure.
-
rmustacc
So there's a bunch of shared development and stuff gets pulled in, but right now no one has done the work to rebase the changes and platform-specific pieces on top of the current OpenZFS code base.
-
rmustacc
It has not been frozen since 2010 by any means.
-
rmustacc
Unfortunately, I don't think there's a simple fix for the incompatible features.
-
derzahl
i see
-
derzahl
so it sounds like its almost a 3rd ZFS branch then
-
derzahl
does illuminos still develop it independently with updates that dont make it into openzfs?
-
rmustacc
I don't think of it quite that way. At the very least we're not integrating incompatible features. But there are some minor bug fixes that are generally specific to illumos and otherwise folks try to work with openzfs.
-
rmustacc
Unfortuantely, it's basically someone has to do a bunch of work to get OpenZFS the repo today to build on illumos. It's all doable, but not free.
-
derzahl
dang. so id have to export and reimport and then do without ZSTD and probably most other features added in the last few years
-
derzahl
where can I find the release notes, changelogs, recent commits on illuminos ZFS?
-
rmustacc
If you want the change log, I just usually do a git log on uts/common/fs/zfs as an approximation.
-
rmustacc
It's not really developed as a separate thing from the rest of the OS.
-
derzahl
and all the open solaris's are based on illuminos and would be using the same ZFS right?
-
rmustacc
I only know about stuff that is based on illumos.
-
rmustacc
There may be some other things out there, but most folks I know of and work with is all around illumos.

danmcd: Is there a changelog explaining the urgency?
