Hi zfsers
Just wanted to ping the list since one of the osunix/grub devs has been
working hard at porting zfs to grub2. I don''t think he''s
subscribed to
zfs-discuss so quoting his original email and cc''ing him.
Drop by #osunix on freenode if you''re interested in the
raidz/compressed

Hello, here is initial port of zfs from grub-solaris. It can only read
file by its name. No ls or tab completition yet. Also identation and
error handling in this patch is completely wrong. To choose the dataset
set zfs variable. Here is an example of how I tested it:
grub> zfs=grubz/grubzfs
grub> cat (hd0)/hello
hello, grub
grub>
Such syntax is temporary and heavily restricts what you can do with
different zfs filesystems (e.g. you can''t cmp files on different
filesystems)
I propose the following syntax for the future:
(<one of vdevs>:<fs name>)
E.g.
(hd0:grubzfs)
Any other porposition?
Regards
Vladimir ''phcoder'' Serbinenko
