zfs discuss - Sep 2009 - snv_XXX features / fixes -> Solaris 10 version

Since most zfs features / fixes are reported in snv_XXX terms. Is there some
sort of way to figure out which versions of Solaris 10 have the equivalent
features / fixes?

Thanks,
Chris

There is no automated nor easy way to do this. Not all features are
backported to Solaris 10. The best you can hope for is that the CRs
are mentioned in Solaris 10 patches.  Since the contents of many
Solaris 10 CRs are not publicly available, this becomes a form of a
guessing game.

My suggestion: get a subscription for OpenSolaris.

in many cases you can look thru a changelog of a given build (ON) at 
opensolaris.org and then look for a bug id on sunsolve in s10 kernel 
patches to see if it is mentioned in any of them.

Hi Chris,

Unless we can figure out the best way to provide this info, please ask
about specific features and we''ll tell you.

One convoluted way is that a CR that integrate a ZFS feature
identifies the Nevada integration build and the Solaris 10 release,
but not all CRs provide this info. You can give it a shot using the
opensolaris bug database. Like this one:

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6282725

In this example, s10u6 translates to Solaris 10 10/08.

Convoluted Releases R'' Us,

Cindy
