Although regular Solaris is good for what I''m doing at work, I prefer apt-get or yum for package management for a desktop. So, I''ve been playing with Nexenta / GnuSolaris -- which appears to be the open-sourced Solaris kernel and low-level system utilities with Debian package management -- and a bunch of packages from Ubuntu. The release I''m playing with (Alpha 5) does, indeed, have ZFS. However, I can''t determine what version of ZFS is included. Dselect gives the following information, which doesn''t ring any bells for me: *** Req base sunwzfsr 5.11.40-1 5.11.40-1 ZFS (Root) Is there a zfs version command that I don''t see?

Luke, You can run ''zpool upgrade'' to see what on-disk version you are capable of running. If you have the latest features then you should be running version 3: hadji-2# zpool upgrade This system is currently running ZFS version 3. Unfortunately this won''t tell you if you are running the latest fixes but it does tell you that you have all the latest features (at least up through snv_43).

All pools are formatted using this version. Which is the same as my Solaris x86 6/06 test-machine. Thanks! -Luke -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Modinfo doesn''t show the ZFS module as loaded; that''s probably because I''m not running anything with ZFS on the machine at the moment. No pkginfo on this system, which I think is part of the point of the distribution -- one package manager to rule them all. Also, dselect / apt-get just has a one-line description that says "ZFS root components". Not real useful, even if you know what ZFS is - is "root components" those components used by the user root? Or is it for putting the root partition on ZFS? I''m assuming the former -- but the statement is quite ambiguous. But, "zpool upgrade" gives me an idea of what featureset to expect, which was what I''m aiming for at this point.
