What is the current estimated ETA on the integration of install support for ZFS boot/root support to Nevada? Also, do you have an idea when we can expect the improved ZFS write throttling to integrate? Thanks Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org
It has been integrated into Nevada build 90.

Actually, I only meant that zfs boot was integrated into build 90. I don''t know about the improved write throttling. I will check into why there was no mention of this on the "heads up" page.

Clarifying further: the install support for zfs root file systems went into build 90, but because the current install code is closed source, the effect of that integration will not be seen until the build 90 SXCE is released. At that time, installs will show a screen that give the user an opportunity to choose between installing a ufs or a zfs root on the system (ufs is still the default).

Personally, I am very much looking forward to playing with ZFS boot! -- Rich Teer, SCSA, SCNA, SCSECA CEO, My Online Home Inventory URLs: http://www.rite-group.com/rich http://www.linkedin.com/in/richteer http://www.myonlinehomeinventory.com
Install of a zfs root can only be done with the tty-based installer or with Jumpstart. I will make sure that instructions for both are made available by the time that SXDE build 90 is released. For an attractive, easy-to-use installer that is designed from the outset to install systems with zfs root pools, we''ll all have to wait for Caiman: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/caiman/ Lori Andrew Pattison wrote:> Just to clarify, if I run the old Java-based installer for Solaris > Express on build 90, it will allow me to install Solaris to a ZFS pool? > > Thanks > > Andrew. > > On Fri, May 16, 2008 at 9:03 PM, Lori Alt <Lori.Alt at sun.com > <mailto:Lori.Alt at sun.com>> wrote: > > Actually, I only meant that zfs boot was integrated > into build 90.

So it''s pushed back to build 90 now? There was an announcement the other day that build 88 was being skipped and build 89 would be the official release with ZFS boot. Not a big deal but someone should do an announcement about the change. This message posted from opensolaris.org
By my calculations that makes the possible release date for ZFS boot installer support around the 9th June 2008. Mark that date in your diary! Cheers Andrew. This message posted from opensolaris.org

It''s clunky and written for the days when a 400 MB disk was considered really big. It''s very ufs-centric and didn''t adapt well to the idea of storage pools. I can''t say for sure what Caiman will provide but I notice this among its goals, as specified on its OpenSolaris community web page: * Updated and simplified graphical and text user interfaces which carry Sun''s current branding - Lori

More importantly, I''m hoping that I can get OpenSolaris 2008.05 and Solaris Nevada build 90 to co-exist on the same root pool. Nico --
