Hey all, I haven''t read any notices for ZFS boot / ZFS root filesystem support for sparc based systems? Please tell me, dear god please tell me, that this hasn''t been set aside. I''m really hoping to see it in the next release. Brandon Wilson bcwilson at bcwilson.com This message posted from opensolaris.org
zfs boot support for sparc (included in the overall delivery of zfs boot, which includes install support, support for swap and dump zvols, and various other improvements) is still planned for Update 6. We are working very hard to get it into build 88. Lori Brandon Wilson wrote:> Hey all, > > I haven''t read any notices for ZFS boot / ZFS root filesystem support for sparc based systems?

zfs boot has no firmware dependencies. It should work on any sparc platform that supports ufs boot of the same release.

> We are working very hard to get it into build 88.*sigh* Last I heard it was going to be build 86. I saw build 85 come out and thought "GREAT only a couple more weeks!" Oh well...... Will we ever be able to boot from a RAIDZ pool, or is that fantasy? This message posted from opensolaris.org
